Description
本発明者等は、1枚のステンレスからなるメタルプレートに溝流路を加工してセパレータを製作し、図4,5で示す本発明の製造方法(プラズマCVD法を適用)にて、厚みが100nm程度で、水素が10atm%以下、sp2混成軌道を有する炭素が90atm%以上に調整された第1、第2の非晶質炭素被膜をその発電領域と端子取り付け部に対応する箇所に成膜した。製作されたセパレータの端子取り付け部の接触抵抗は0.5mΩcm2であった。
本発明者等は、非晶質炭素被膜の膜厚を種々変化させ、それぞれの膜厚の際の接触抵抗(この接触抵抗は同部材同士で測定)を測定した。この測定結果を図6に示している。さらに、非晶質炭素被膜の成分組成に関し、sp2混成軌道を有する炭素(Csp2)の含有率を種々変化させ、それぞれの含有率の際の体積抵抗を測定した。この測定結果を図7に示している。
