Abstract

Yakın gelecekte petrol rezervlerinin tükeneceği öngörülmemektedir, fakat hidrokarbon kökenli yakıtların kullanılması canlılar için sağlığa olumsuz etki eden emisyonlar oluşturmaktadır. Bu nedenle dünya genelinde yenilenebilir, alternatif ve temiz enerji kaynaklarına yönelim söz konusu olmaktadır. Yakıt pilleri, sessiz ve verimli çalışabilen, aynı zamanda zararlı emisyonları olmayan bir elektrik üretecidir. Ticari uygulamaları da bulunan yakıt pilleri, havacılık, otomotiv, askeri, denizaltı yerel ve mobil uygulamalarda kullanılabilmektedir. Bu da kapsamlı bir uygulama alanı olduğunun göstergesidir. Bu çalışmada yakıt pili tiplerinden PEM yakıt pilleri araştırma konusu olarak seçilmiş ve PEM yakıt pili bileşenlerinden bipolar plakaların üretim teknikleri ele alınmıştır. Geleneksel ve yenilikçi üretim tekniklerinin araştırıldığı bu çalışmada, üretim trendinin ne aşamada olduğu tartışılmış ve konunun gelecek perspektifi göz önünde bulundurularak yapılan araştırmalar değerlendirilmiştir.
