ZBT has performed detailed benchmarks of available MEA and coating technologies for metallic bipolar plates and has developed the design of the bipolar plates in cooperation with Gräbener Maschinentechnik. The flowfield has been optimized using CFD simulations and a rapid-prototyping flowfieldbenchmark process, that helps to significantly reduce development time and –cost. A sealing concept for the combination of bipolar plate and MEA was developed by ZBT and produced with inhouse automated dispensing technology. Currently the stacks are running on ZBT’s testbenches, they are achieving power densities in excess of 1 W/cm² under dry cathode operating conditions.
