MONTRÉAL, Sept. 19, 2024 --
Niobay Metals Inc. is proud to announce the first results of the work it is involved in with the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières and the University of Waterloo on the valorization of critical and strategic metals encountered in NioBay's projects. Work Metallic bipolar plates are crucial for the development of compact and lightweight proton exchange membrane fuel cell sacks; however, most of them encounter durability and conductivity challenges in the fuel cell environment. In this study, Nb-Ti alloy/Pt coatings are deposited on SS316L plates to enhance corrosion resistance, surface wettability, electrical and thermal conductivity, with reduced interfacial contact resistance. The work was directed by Professors Samaneh Shahgalidi of UQTR and X...
