Effect of Different Filler Materials in the Development of Bipolar Plate Composite for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)
Abstract. In Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), bipolar plate is considered one of the most important components. Bipolar plate has a multi-functional in the fuel cell stack. The materials used in producing bipolar plate are greatly affecting its final properties. Through this study,...

the most important components. Bipolar plate has a multi-functional in the fuel cell stack. The
materials used in producing bipolar plate are greatly affecting its final properties. Through this
study, the properties of bipolar plate composite will be observed. The based composition of this
composite is 80% for multi-filler material and 20% binder material. Polypropylene (PP) will be
used as binder material and for filler materials, Graphite (Gr) is the main filler and for the second
filler materials its will vary with the usage of Carbon Black (CB), Iron (Fe), and Aluminum (Al)
powder. The formation of this composite is produced through compression molding. The effect of
different filler material loading on the properties such as electrical conductivity, bulk density and
shore hardness are observed. The result showed the increasing of electrical conductivity as the

conductivity as the loading of Al has been increased. Meanwhile the usage of CB clearly shown an
improvement in electrical conductivity and able to meet the DOE target properties for development
