Global Graphite Bipolar Plates Competitive Landscape Professional Research Report 2025

Research Summary

Graphite bipolar plates are crucial components in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells, serving as conductive plates that facilitate the efficient flow of electrons and protons within the cell. These plates are typically made of high-quality graphite materials due to graphite＇s excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and lightweight characteristics. In a PEM fuel cell, bipolar plates play a key role in separating individual cells, providing electrical contact between adjacent cells, and distributing reactant gases (hydrogen and oxygen) to the catalyst layers. The use of graphite in bipolar plates helps ensure electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, and durability in the challenging operating conditions of fuel cells. Graphite bipolar plates contribute to the overall efficiency and reliability of fuel cell systems, which are increasingly explored as a clean and sustainable energy technology for various applications, including transportation and stationary power generation.
