Abstract EN

Composite film of carbon nanotube (CNT) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) was formed from dispersion fluids of CNT and PTFE.

The composite film showed high electrical conductivity in the range of 0.1–13 S/cm and hydrophobic nature.

This composite film was applied to stainless steel (SS) bipolar plates of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) as anticorrosion film.

This coating decreased the contact resistance between the surface of the bipolar plate and the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of the PEMFC.

The output power of the fuel cell is increased by 1.6 times because the decrease in the contact resistance decreases the series resistance of the PEMFC.

Moreover, the coating of this composite film protects the bipolar plate from the surface corrosion.
