Niobium-Titanium Alloy Demonstrates Its Strong Market Potential in the Fabrication of Fuel Cells

Niobium-Titanium Alloy Demonstrates Its Strong Market Potential in the Fabrication of Fuel Cells MONTRÉAL, Sept. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — NioBay Metals Inc. (“NioBay” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: NBY) (OTCQB: NBYCF) is proud to announce the first results of the work it is involved in with the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières (UQTR) and the University of Waterloo on the valorization of critical and strategic metals encountered in NioBay’s projects.

Metallic bipolar plates are crucial for the development of compact and lightweight proton exchange membrane fuel cell sacks; however, most of them encounter durability and conductivity challenges in the fuel cell environment. In this study, Nb-Ti alloy/Pt coatings are deposited on SS316L plates to enhance corrosion resistance, surface wettability, electrical and thermal conductivity, with reduced interfacial contact resistance. The work was directed by Professors Samaneh Shahgalidi of UQTR and Xianguo Li of the University of Waterloo, and carried out as part of Mr.

Pramoth Varsan Madhavan’s doctoral thesis. Amongst other results, the incorporation of Nb-Ti alloy/Pt coatings on SS316L increases the in-plane electrical conductivity by 42.6 % and thermal conductivity by 3.

5 %, surpassing the US Department of Energy’s technical targets in these categories. These results indicate the viability of Nb-Ti alloy/Pt coated SS316L bipolar plates for fuel cell applications. The work was published in the journal: The full article can be found on the NioBay website under R&D project.
