Recent advances and future perspectives of carbon materials for fuel cell

Fuel cells in the near future are going to challenge recent strong progress of battery-based energy system. Despite many challenges, including material composition, storage and distribution, hydrogen fuel cell has demonstrated its potential trucking fleet transportation systems due ability be safely transported used resulting sharp drop CO 2 particulate emissions. Review works revealed that Proton Exchange Membrane Cell (PEMFC) technology is reaching a commercialization phase for electric vehicles (FCEVs). Study further disclosed need more focused investigation into materials' properties plate design enhance efficacy composite bipolar plates (BPP), specially their electrical mechanical properties, as one main components PEMFC. Carbon fiber, expanded graphite carbon nanotubes promising functional materials can utilized performance by addressing critical challenges such agglomeration poor thermodynamic compatibility. Conductive polymer embedded nanomaterials showed high promise improve Herein, parameters affecting introduction discussed with focus on electrical, durability BPP. Recommendations made related cost vs development. This paper also outlined scope perspectives reviewing areas developments carbon-polymer based BPP an attempt highlight commercial applications high-performance • Focused research date Critical review PEMFC The performances Future trends outlining technology.
