dc.description.abstractLight structures of the composite materials are prominent outcomes for reducing the total stack weight. However, the poor electrical properties of the composite structures pose an obstacle to wide employment as a bipolar plate for the PEMFC systems. In the current study, the carbon fiber/epoxy composite laminates were modified with the multi-walled carbon nanotube superconductor materials to overcome conductivity issues. The effects of CNTs additives in a range of 0.25-1.25% wt on the electrical, mechanical, and perfor-mance features of the carbon fiber/epoxy laminates were investigated. Electrical conduc-tivities of the nonconductive carbon fiber/epoxy plates increased with the rising additive ratio, as expected, and reached 120 S/cm for the 1.25% CNT reinforcement. Although the mechanical strength of the pristine composite BP is already satisfactory, CNTs can increase the flexural strength and flexural modulus of the BP up to 42% and 27%, respectively. Each composite plate was subjected to the single-cell performance test. 1.25% wt CNT modified plate was executed pretty close performance compared to the aluminum alloy (AA 3105) bipolar plate under the same conditions.(c) 2022 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
