Project introduction:

A start-up company in the Netherlands has developed an ultra-thin, chemical-resistant, flexible and conductive carbon fiber material, which has been molded to form a new generation of bipolar plates to improve the power density of fuel cell stacks. By combining the thinness of metal bipolar plate, the lightness of carbon fiber and the life of composite material, it has a suitable material to solve the heavy mobility market and decarbonize it.

The company is an innovative French start-up company, and is currently developing thinner, lighter and more flexible carbon-based bipolar plates. These ultra-light and durable components can be used in low-temperature and high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (LT-PEMFC and HT-PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cells. These components have been integrated and applied to applications such as unmanned aerial vehicle and backup generator (TRL5).

The company has a prototype production line and an engineering team to help you verify the technology and integrate it into your system.

Product features:

-compact

Because the thickness of the coil is as low as 200µm, this material will not affect the compactness of stacking. An assembled bipolar plate with a thickness of 1mm has been demonstrated.

-durable

Carefully selected polymers make our panels chemically resistant in the fuel cell environment.

-lightweight

Due to the light weight of carbon fiber, your stacking weight can be reduced from 30% to 50%. Good power density can be achieved.

-Extensible

The manufacturing process can be expanded, which is suitable for continuous production and can realize mass production.

Cooperation mode:

The company provides customized production, welcome to discuss.
