Description
本発明は、少なくとも1つの金属バイポーラプレートを有するPEM燃料電池に関し、金属バイポーラプレートは、2枚の個々のプレートから作成され、1対のMEAの間に配置される。個々のプレートの各々は、燃料電池の腐食環境とのプレート表面の接触を制限する導電保護被覆を有する。2枚の被覆個別プレートは、溶接領域に隣接する被覆の除去を引き起こすレーザ溶接によって互いに接合される。望ましければ、第2の被覆が、溶接領域に施され得る。
スペーサ薄板94は、第1の薄板90と第2の薄板92の間に位置付けられ、第1の薄板90上の畝110と第2の薄板92上の畝116は、(例えば、図4に示されるろう付けまたは接着剤などの接着層136によって)スペーサ薄板94に結合される。当業者であれば理解されるように、本発明の集電板は、例えば、流れ場の形状、流体送出マニホールドの数、および冷却剤循環システムなどの設計において、上で説明されたものとは異なることができるが、集電板の表面および本体を通る電流の導電率の関数は、すべての設計で同様に振舞う。
