The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM)fuel cell is a promising candidate as zero-emission power source for transport and stationary cogeneration applications due to its high efficiency, low-temperature operation, high power density, fast startup, and system robustness. Bipolar plate is a vital component of PEM fuel cells, which supplies fuel and oxidant to reactive sites, removes reaction products, collects produced current and provides mechanical support for the cells in the stack. Bipolar plates constitute more than 60
