  • Patent number: 8252475
    Abstract: Moreover, as a case of not using the press work, in a separator of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell described in a Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication JP-A 2001-76748, a gas channel is formed by printing an electrically conductive material onto an electrically conductive base material. To be specific, as the electrically conductive base material is used a molded plate formed of carbon powder and a thermosetting resin as main components, and as the electrically conductive material is used carbon paste containing carbon powder as a main component.

  • Patent number: 8034505
    Abstract: A separator that is excellent in workability and corrosion resistance, and allows a reduction in the number of constituent components of a fuel cell and the number of manufacturing process steps, and a manufacturing method therefore are provided. A separator includes a separating section for achieving separation between a hydrogen gas channel and an oxygen gas channel, and a sealing section disposed along an outer periphery of the separator, for preventing leakage of hydrogen and oxygen gases. The separating section and the sealing section are formed integrally with each other by means of plastic deformation processing, e.g., press working, of a metal thin sheet.
