“…Amorphous Al-25Cr-5Mo-40N with a content of nitrides (AlN, MoN, CrN, CrN 2 ) and oxides (Al 2 O 3 , MoO 2 ) was comparable, considering corrosion resistance, with Ta/TaN on AISI 316L. However, the ICR (around 33 mΩcm 2 ) did not meet the DOE targets [102].…”

Metallic Material Selection and Prospective Surface Treatments for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates—A Review

The aim of this review is to summarize the possibilities of replacing graphite bipolar plates in fuel-cells. The review is mostly focused on metallic bipolar plates, which benefit from many properties required for fuel cells, viz. good mechanical properties, thermal and electrical conductivity, availability, and others. The main disadvantage of metals is that their corrosion resistance in the fuel-cell environment originates from the formation of a passive layer, which significantly increases interfacial contact resistance. Suitable coating systems prepared by a proper deposition method are eventually able to compensate for this disadvantage and make the replacement of graphite bipolar plates possible. This review compares coatings, materials, and deposition methods based on electrochemical measurements and contact resistance properties with respect to achieving appropriate parameters established by the DOE as objectives for 2020. An extraordinary number of studies have been performed, but only a minority of them provided promising results. One of these is the nanocrystalline β-Nb2N coating on AISI 430, prepared by the disproportionation reaction of Nb(IV) in molten salt, which satisfied the DOE 2020 objectives in terms of corrosion resistance and interfacial contact resistance. From other studies, TiN, CrN, NbC, TiC, or amorphous carbon-based coatings seem to be promising. This paper is novel in extracting important aspects for future studies and methods for testing the properties of metallic materials and factors affecting monitoring characteristics and parameters.

“…Magnetron sputtering is a highly recommended technique for depositing various industrial coatings. , It contributes to a wide application range, including wear-resistant, hard, corrosion-resistant, oxidation-resistant, and decorative coatings with specific optical or electrical properties. It is often used to improve the performance and extend the lifetime of different components such as cutting tools, aircraft fasteners, and proton exchange membrane fuel cells. − Transition metal nitride films have shown good corrosion resistance, high hardness, and excellent electrical conductivity. − Among them, titanium nitride is widely used in manufacturing cutting tools, orthopedic implants, stamping tools, and bearings and as a decorative material. , Many researchers have found that TiN coatings are usually characterized by high tribological performance during friction by forming a solid lubricant. − Therefore, combining TiN coatings with other elements (e.g., Al, Mo, Cr, etc.) presents a remarkable improvement in the hardness and wear resistance.…”

Although TiAlN has been thoroughly studied, there is still an ongoing demand for developing new-based TiAlN films with enhanced protection efficiency for a long lifetime and high load-bearing capability linked to friction and corrosion mechanisms. This work aims to present the effect of Mo content by studying the structural tribomechanical, wettability, and corrosion behaviors in TiAlMoN coatings deposited by magnetron sputtering on cold-sprayed stainless steel 316L substrates. TiAlMoN coatings showed a dense columnar structure with the coexistence of titanium and molybdenum nitrides, and TiN (200) preferred orientation changed to TiN(111) with increasing Mo content. The surface energy of the TiAlMoN coatings decreased gradually with the increase in Mo content. The TiAlMoN coating containing 16.09 atom % Mo possesses the highest hardness and Young's modulus (29.5 and 334.5 GPa, respectively) and the maximum H/E and H 3 /E 2 of 0.092 and 0.237, respectively. Formations of tribolayer oxides reduced the friction and enhanced the wear resistance of TiAlMoN coatings in atmospheric conditions and reached the minimum values of 0.3 and 0.849 × 10 −6 mm 3 /N, respectively, at 16.09 atom % of Mo under 5 N load charge. Corrosion examination in simulated seawater revealed that TiAlMoN coating-coated SS316L exhibited a significant positive shift of about −16 mV in corrosion potential with a notable reduction in corrosion current density (1.41 nA/cm 2 ), confirming the improved corrosion performance. The combination of both cold spray and magnetron sputtering techniques for producing this kind of component is shown to have great potential in processing applications.

“…Many porous metal foams could be used as substrates for the deposition of Ni(OH) 2 , such as 316L stainless steel foam (SSF-316L) and Inconel foam (IncF). Compared to other metals foam, these two foams exhibit better stability, particularly excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation [52,53]. However, to date, there are no reports in the literature on the use of 316L stainless steel foam for non-enzymatic glucose detection.…”

For the first time, nickel hydroxide nanoparticles (Ni(OH) 2 NPs) grown on 316L stainless steel foam were used as a non-enzymatic electrochemical glucose sensor. The Ni(OH) 2 /SSF-316L was elaborated by applying a simple ultrafast CV method without nickel salts addition. Ni(OH) 2 /SSF-316L was characterized by SEM and XRD. The electrochemical behavior was investigated by CV, EIS, and amperometric measurements. The fabricated sensor revealed higher sensitivity 1062 μA mM À 1 cm À 2 , wide linear range from 1.0 μM to 4.0 mM with a low detection limit of 2.0 μM and good selectivity. In addition, real sample analysis was performed for controlled glucose in real blood serum.
