Electrochemical cell component, bipolar plate, electrochemical cell and electrochemical system comprising such a component

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a component of an electrochemical cell, in particular a separator plate or a cell frame of an electrochemical cell. Furthermore, the present disclosure also relates to a bipolar plate, an electrochemical cell and an electrochemical system such as a fuel cell, an electrolyzer or a redox flow battery. The component comprises a first metallic layer. Adjacent to at least one free edge of the first metallic layer, the first metallic layer is at least in sections folded over on itself one or more times thereby forming one or more folded layers, thereby increasing the thickness of the component by one or more than one layer thickness of the first metallic layer.
