Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the development and manufacturing of AEM electrolyzer bipolar plates, highlighting key players in the industry and their technological advancements in this area [2][3][17]. Group 1: AEM Electrolyzer Bipolar Plates - Bipolar plates are a core component of AEM electrolyzers, responsible for conducting electricity, gas distribution, and separating the electrolyte [2]. - The material selection for bipolar plates must balance alkali corrosion resistance, high conductivity, lightweight, and cost control [2]. - Nickel-based materials are currently the mainstream choice for bipolar plates, despite their higher cost, due to their stability and longevity [2]. Group 2: Key Players in the Industry - Companies involved in AEM bipolar plate production can be categorized into two types: full-stack self-research AEM electrolyzer manufacturers and material manufacturers that produce bipolar plates [3]. - Shenzhen Jinqiayi Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in PEM and AEM bipolar plates, utilizing nickel-plated stainless steel as the base material [4]. - Shanghai Zhizhen New Energy Co., Ltd. focuses on metal bipolar plate R&D and manufacturing, with a strong technical team and plans to expand into SOFC products [6][7]. Group 3: Production Capacities and Innovations - Zhejiang Filter Technology Co., Ltd. has developed over ten innovative core materials and aims to increase its patent portfolio significantly by 2025 [11]. - Suzhou Pluray Electrode Industrial Co., Ltd. has acquired a manufacturing facility to enhance its production capacity for PEM and AEM bipolar plates [12]. - Suzhou Yunfan Hydrogen Energy Technology Co., Ltd. has introduced new micro electrolyzer bipolar plate components, achieving significant material savings and reduced processing time [13]. Group 4: Upcoming Events - The 2025 TrendBank Green Hydrogen Industry Conference will be held on July 16-17 in Wuxi, focusing on the development of the green hydrogen industry and AEM hydrogen production [17].
