Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) consist of bipolar plates, end plates, membrane electrode assemblies, and gas diffusion layers. Among these components, the bipolar plates (BPs) are the main components because they contribute significantly to the volume, cost, and weight of the PEMFC. Ow...
