COMPONENT SUCH AS A CELL FRAME AND/OR POLE PLATE FOR A PEM FUEL CELL, WITH REDUCED CONTACT RESISTANCE AND METHOD FOR REDUCING THE CONTACT RESISTANCE THEREOF

摘要

The invention aims to combine the advantages of a precious metal coating which, for example, reduces the contact resistance between a pole plate and a fuel cell current collector, with low production costs. This has been made possible by the discovery that a sufficient and sometimes even improved reduction of the contact resistance of a component to a contact element can be achieved by using a minimal precious metal coating which does not even need to be continuous.
