Polymer coated metallic bipolar separator plate and method of assembly

摘要

A fuel cell bipolar separator plate at least partially coated with a coating that is stable when in contact with or in close proximity to a proton exchange membrane and that is stable within the environment of the anode and cathode environments of the fuel cell is provided. Also included are fuel cells comprising such a fuel cell bipolar separator plate and method of manufacturing the fuel cell bipolar separator plate and the fuel cell comprising the fuel cell bipolar separator plate.
