SDK Develops Bipolar-Type Carbon Separators for PEFCs

Showa Denko K.K. (SDK) has developed new technologies to produce low-cost carbon separators that will increase output density of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). Specifically, SDK has established technologies to produce carbon separators with lower cost and lighter weight by making substantial changes in the process and raw materials. At the same time, SDK has achieved an increase of around 30% in output density compared with PEFCs made earlier by SDK on a trial basis. These technical developments have been supported by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO). ... > Source
