Singapore-based Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies says its patent-pending graphite bipolar plate technology doubles a fuel cell’s power density and cuts material costs 50%.
Horizon, which was founded in 2003, plans to launch production of the new fuel cell stacks for automotive applications later this year. The company says it has signed memorandums of understanding to supply 1,000 fuel cell systems to unnamed customers.
Recent tests demonstrated the new stacks have a continuous power density of 1.5-W/cm2 at 0.6 volts per cell, which Horizon says is double the power density of some commercial automotive fuel cells. The company aims to eventually improve power density to 1.8-W/cm2.
By combining its bipolar plate technology with recent investments in automated manufacturing processes, Horizon says it can achieve previously “unattainable cost structures” for fuel cell-powered vehicles and power plant applications.
