Reducing the cost of fuel cell components and pilot production of bipolar plate coatings

这项双边合作汇集了来自英国和台湾的工业和学术合作伙伴的专业知识，旨在解决质子交换膜燃料电池（pemfc）的一些性能和成本挑战。高性能、低成本的双极板涂层将采用Teer涂层公司的闭合场不平衡磁控溅射和采用其纳米簇沉积技术沉积的低铂催化剂。SurfTech将建立一个中试规模的涂层沉积真空系统，作为该技术的示范。该联盟将受益于燃料电池开发和评估方面学术合作伙伴的广泛专业知识。

This bilateral collaboration brings together expertise from the industrial and academic partners from the UK and Taiwan and aims to address some of the performance and cost challenges of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). High-performance, low-cost bipolar plate coatings will be developed using Teer Coatings' closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering and low-Pt catalysts deposited using its nano-cluster deposition technology. A pilot-scale coating deposition vacuum system will be built by SurfTech as a demonstrator of the technology. The consortium will benefit from the extensive expertise of the academic partners in the fuel cell development and evaluation.
