Three kinds of films Accepted 21 October 2008 were formed including the pure C film, the C–Cr composite film and the C–Cr–N composite Available online 26 November 2008 film. Interfacial conductivity of the bipolar plate with C–Cr film was the highest, which showed great potential of application. Corrosion tests in simulated PEMFC environments Keywords: revealed that the C–Cr film coated sample always showed better anticorrosive performance Metal bipolar plate
