The Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, Germany, is making significant strides in advancing hydrogen technology through innovative solutions for PEM fuel cell production. By utilizing double-beam welding, the institute is enabling faster and more efficient production of fuel cells. Additionally, their laser-based drying technology reduces drying time significantly, improving production speed and energy efficiency while saving space in production halls. Another key development is the corrosion protection coatings for bipolar plates, which increase efficiency and reduce costs by using a spray coating combined with laser-beam processing. This approach eliminates the need for energy-intensive vacuum processes, making production more cost-effective and scalable. Moreover, the use of double-beam welding for metallic bipolar plates and the repair of forming tools enhance production efficiency by reducing cycle time and extending the service life of tools, ultimately contributing to the sustainability of fuel cell manufacturing. These pioneering innovations by Fraunhofer ILT are crucial steps towards broader application of hydrogen technology in the energy transition.
