Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates
The fuel cell bipolar plates developed by Kimwan adopts a new type of binder in the processing, so that the fuel cell bipolar plates have excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength and good gas seal. Thanks to the direct hot press forming method, the production process is simplified and the processing cost is reduced.
The bipolar plate is a key component in the hydrogen fuel cell stack and forms a stack together with membrane electrodes, current collector plates, insulating plates, end plates, etc.
graphite powder and resin are mixed and prepared, then the mixed materials and molds are processed, using the polymer’s melting temperature and a certain pressure, so that the powder flows in the mold and fills the entire container, curing and demolding to obtain the Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates
Molding process for manufacturing bipolar plates can effectively solve the problems of high processing cost and large-scale production. We are currently developing this process.

Liquid Flow Battery Graphite Plate
The application of energy storage technology can smooth the output of renewable energy, improve the grid connection rate, reduce the abandonment rate, and can be widely used in all aspects of modern power system, including generation, transmission, distribution, transformation and utilization. Among many electric energy storage technologies, flow battery has become one of the mainstream technologies with the advantages of high safety, large energy storage capacity, power and energy decoupling, long life and relatively friendly environment. It realizes the mutual conversion of electric energy and chemical energy through the reversible redox reaction of dissolved active substances.
Graphite plate has the advantages of high chemical stability, good corrosion resistance, high electrical conductivity and low density.Our company has mature graphite plate production and processing technology.
As an important part of the liquid current battery, bipolar Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates play the roles of separating and connecting the batteries in series, conducting current, and providing structural support for the power stack. Therefore, the bipolar plate needs to have high electrical conductivity, mechanical strength, airtightness and corrosion resistance, and at the same time, it should have the characteristics of easy processing and low cost.
