Gold-plated structure and fuel cell separator comprising this gold-plated structure

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a gold-plated structure which is superior in electroconductivity, corrosion resistance, mechanical properties, and the like, is lightweight, has superior workability, and is inexpensively mass-produced, and to provide a separator for a fuel cell. PSOLUTION: The gold-plated structure has gold-plated parts and non-plated parts on the surface of a titanium substrate, wherein each of the gold-plated parts has an insular shape with a diameter of 100 nm to 1 nm, and are interspersed on the surface of the titanium substrate. The separator for the fuel cell is formed of the gold-plated structure. PCOPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
