PEMFC, Bipolar Plates, conventional, flow-fields.

The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) forms an important candidate for various applications, such as transport and stationary cogeneration applications due to enormous benefits. These include high efficiency, high power density coupled with its ability to operate at low temperatures. Bipolar plate forms an important component of PEMFC, which facilitates supply of reactants on cathode and anode sides and removal of waste products from the cathode side of the fuel cell. They also provide mechanical support to the fuel cell. The flow – field layouts in these bipolar plates play an important role in producing power as they influence reactant flow, pressure drops and water removal. Conventional flow-field design of these bipolar plates have been developed to achieve aforementioned functions efficiently so as to obtain high performance and economic advantages. The present paper presents a comprehensive review of different conventional flow-field designs for these bipolar plates with their pros and cons.
