Mesh for Fuel Cells
uel cells are used as an electrical energy source in
cars, aircraft, and ships. Technical weaves from
GKD, used as electrode material, maximize efficien-
cy in power generation. These wire meshes are suit-
able for various fuel cell types, including solid oxide
fuel cells (SOFC). Their porosity, conductivity, and
shape enable diverse applications within fuel cells,
such as power distributors on the anode side (H2
electrode) and as contact media. Their high degree
of homogeneity improves the gas diffusion layer.
They also optimize electrode collectors and the cat-
alyst/electrolyte substrate. The distinctive smooth
surface structure of our technical weaves ensures
an optimal electrical connection of the diaphragm.
They can also withstand bending forces without los-
ing contact with active materials. To offer protec-
tion from contamination of pipes and components,
GKD meshes are also used as filters in pipes carry-
ing hydrogen
