QIU Diankai

QIU Diankai is a Faculty member in the School of Mechanical Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. His research interests include micro/meso modelling, assembly theory and technology of thin plate structure, and fuel cell manufacturing and failure. He has led several research projects, including studies on mechanical failure mechanisms and prediction models for proton exchange membrane in fuel cells. QIU has published extensively in journals such as Applied Energy, Energy, and Energy Conversion And Management, and has contributed to various patents related to fuel cell assembly and manufacturing. His work focuses on advancing the understanding and development of fuel cell technologies through both theoretical and applied research.

Diankai Qiu focuses on sheet metal assembly, micro forming, new energy, and fuel cell technologies. His research explores mechanical failure mitigation in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), including membrane degradation, bipolar plate design, and sealing structure failure. He investigates the impact of gas diffusion layer mechanics, contact resistance, and flow channel design on PEMFC performance. Additionally, Qiu examines carbon-based coatings for bipolar plates and the influence of nitrogen doping on amorphous carbon films. His work addresses challenges in PEMFC stack assembly, quality evaluation, and process design for commercial applications.
