The production of graphite-polymer compounds and their shaping into thin-walled foils that can be processed into structured bipolar plates as an alternative to metallic bipolar plates is one goal of the project. The focus is on highly filled compound materials and process techniques for producing thin-walled, formed bipolar plate foils. The bipolar plate foils developed have a maximum thickness of 700 \u00b5m and were able to successfully pass the high requirements in fuel cell stack operation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Key facts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Continuous production of highly filled foils (min. thickness 300 \u00b5m)<\/li>\n<li>Structured bipolar plate foils (700 \u00b5m thickness) successfully qualified in NT-PEM fuel cell<\/li>\n<li>Bipolar plate foils meet the electrical, thermal, mechanical requirements of a PEM FC and are gas-tight against hydrogen even at 300 \u00b5m thickness<\/li>\n<li>Cell performance in the relevant voltage range above 650mV is close to gold-coated metallic BPP, further optimization potential regarding material composition available<\/li>\n<li>Foils with 1\/3 thickness compared to injection molded bipolar plates have similar resistance values<\/li>\n<li>Savings of up to 65% in weight, volume and material costs compared to injection molded BPP with more than 2 mm thickness<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"latest-news latest-news--white\">\n            <h2 class=\"latest-news__heading\">More News<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"latest-news__grid\">\n                                            <div class=\"latest-news__item\">\n                    <a href=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/en\/news\/top-cited-article-2025-award-for-zbt-doctoral-student\/\" class=\"news-card\" title=\"Top Cited Article 2025 - Award for ZBT-DOCTORAL student\">\n    <div class=\"news-card__header\">\n        <figure class=\"news-card__figure\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/zbt-hydrogen-energy-symposium-2024-caidi-16to9-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"news-card__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/zbt-hydrogen-energy-symposium-2024-caidi-16to9-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/zbt-hydrogen-energy-symposium-2024-caidi-16to9-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/zbt-hydrogen-energy-symposium-2024-caidi-16to9-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/zbt.de\/app\/uploads\/2026\/04\/zbt-hydrogen-energy-symposium-2024-caidi-16to9.jpg 1084w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"news-card__body\">\n        <time class=\"topic-card__published\" datetime=\"2026-04-15T10:00:00+00:00\">\n            15.
