Optimized technical weave for battery and fuel cell technology

Battery / fuel cells

Metal mesh made of nickel alloys is used as anodes and cathodes in fuel cells.

Fuel cells are electrochemical devices for directly converting the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity. GKD has developed special metal mesh for numerous battery variants and accumulators as well as for the various types of fuel cells. Possible applications include: Mechanical support of electrodes or membranes, use as current collectors and drainage as well as retention structures.

Available alloys

• Stainless steel
• Nickel
• Aluminum copper
• Crofer®
• Various other alloys
• Combinations of various materials as hybrid weaves
