2 Starting point Request from the German industrial bipolar plate manufactures and FC-OEMs Support from the German institutes is urgently needed for many FC-issues related to BPP Electrical conductivity of BPP Thermal conductivity of BPP Corrosion issues and ageing aspects caused by BPP Mechanical properties of BPP (before and after in-cell operation) Surface questions of BPP and many more Bipolarplatten für die HT-PEM by ZBT all rights reserved. Confidential no passing on to third parties 1

3 Starting point - electrical conductivity measurement For a first step the determination of electrical conductivity has been agreed Many different methods/devices for measuring electrical conductivity of BPP Many different units for the conductivity No description of the measurement in technical datasheets Differences in through- and in-plane conductivity - only one value is mentioned No standards or standardizations are available Conclusion: a comparable and easy to handle measuring method for the industry, standardization should follow up Source: Wilhelm Eisenhuth GmbH by ZBT all rights reserved. Confidential no passing on to third parties 2

4 Round robin test on the determination of electrical conductivity Questions to be clarified before: Metal or compound plates Pressurized measurement (how much) With GDL or not Through-plane, in-plane, processing method? Sample Size and sample conductivity Treated or untreated plate surface Agreements Use of compound based specimen Measurement under pressure (use of existing eqipment) With GDL agreement: SGL 25 BC (provided by ISE) Through-plane, in-plane and injection direction is considered Sample Size 38 x 25 x 2 mm (provided by ZBT) Different conductivity levels (depending on graphite loads in polypropylene (PP) Surface untreated by ZBT all rights reserved.

Confidential no passing on to third parties 13

15 Conclusion for electrical conductivity Summarization Conductivity significantly depending on structure of the plate Significant differences between the different testing devices Differences depending on direction of measurement Significant differences in through-plane values Significant differences in in-plane-values perpendicular to injection direction Acceptable differences in in-plane-values along injection direction Question: Does fixing on DOE-Targets makes sense? Answer: Yes fixing targets makes sense but only when: Standardization of specimen, testing protocol and testing devices is established In-and through plane is considered All values are comparable and realistic Cheap and simple to apply measurement devices are available for everyone Source: Wang et al., 2012 by ZBT all rights reserved.
