Abstract: Initial interfacial electronic contact resistance was measured between several bare and coated metallic surfaces and carbon gas diffusion layers (GDLs) considered for use in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. The contact resistance was found to be a strong function of the applied pressure between the interfaces, the metallic material, and the form of the GDLs. Nitrided metallic surfaces were found to result in greatly reduced contact losses.
