Electrochemical response of zirconia-coated 316L stainless-steel in a simulated proton exchange membrane fuel cell environment

Structural, optical, and electrical properties of Cu-doped ZrO 2 films prepared by magnetron co-sputtering

“…Because of these properties, ZrO 2 film is extensively applied to many fields, such as fuel cells, optical coatings, radiation shielding. [1][2][3][4] In particular, ZrO 2 thin film is a promising alternative to SiO 2 as the high κ gate dielectric in complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor technology, due to its high dielectric constant, wide energy band and offsets, and good stability with Si surface. [5][6][7][8][9] It is known that ZrO 2 has three stable structures.…”

Technical evaluation of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell performance – A review of the effects of bipolar plates coating

“…Polymer based composite on Al was also researched using wet spraying [69]. Their investigation could not meet the US department of Energy criteria because applying the coat by means of spray produced defects on the sample [70]. Forming semi -continuous Chromium Nitride surface layers on (Hastealloy) and AL 29 -4C via nitridation was also performed.…”

A Review of Metallic Bipolar Plates for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Materials and Fabrication Methods

“…All tests showed higher chemical stability of such plates in accelerated cathode environments containing 0.5 M H 2 SO 4 with 2 ppm HF at 80 • C. The superiority of Ni-coated plates is attributed to the reduction in the thickness of the passive layer caused by the Ni implantation. Lee et al [96] investigated the viability of a zirconia coating on 316L SS plates in a simulated PEMFC environment. The zirconia coating was applied by employing a sol-gel dip coating method followed by calcination at 800 • C for an hour.…”
