  • Abstract
    This paper describes two different types of bipolar plates and four different types of flow topologies for a regenerative fuel cell. A three-cell graphite bipolar plate with three continuous serpentine channels was constructed to determine the Current vs. Voltage and the H2 Produced vs. Voltage graphs. Experimental results are shown for a three-cell Regenerative Fuel Cell.
