Abstract
A method of depositing a bimetallic alloy coating onto a bare stainless-steel bipolar plate includes preheating the bare stainless-steel bipolar plate to a temperature ranging from 450° C. to 500° C. Further, the method includes depositing copper (Cu) and nickel (Ni) onto the bare stainless-steel bipolar plate to form a coated stainless-steel bipolar plate. Furthermore, the method includes cooling the coated stainless-steel bipolar plate after terminating the depositing. The deposition is an aerosol assisted chemical vapor deposition of Cu and Ni from a solution containing a mixture of a copper (II) precursor and a nickel (II) precursor for 1 hour (h) to 3 h to form the coated stainless-steel bipolar plate having a coating including a CuNi film having a metal phase including Cu, Ni and CuNi.
