Thermal stabilization of nanocrystalline promoting conductive corrosion resistance of TiN–Ag films for metal bipolar plates

An investigation on the corrosion protection and electrical conductivity films on metal bipolar plates can be achieved through magnetron sputtering. This work characterized the microstructures of TiN–Ag nanocomposite deposited at different temperatures with thermal stabilization. All the TiN–Ag films show adequate electrical conductivity with the interfacial contact resistance (ICR) of 4.81, 4.78, 4.52, 4.18 mΩ cm2 at the deposition temperature...
