TLDR
In this paper, the authors investigated how O2 and H2 affect the corrosion behavior of 316L stainless steel in simulated anode and cathode environments of a PEM fuel cell, and they showed that less corrosion occurred in a simulated cathode environment because it was easier to passivate SS316L in an O2-containing environment.About:

A Review of Metallic Bipolar Plates for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Materials and Fabrication Methods
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the current research being carried out on metallic bipolar plates, covering materials and fabrication methods, can be found in this paper, where the bipolar plate is a key component in this device, as it connects each cell electrically, supplies reactant gases to both anode and cathode, and removes reaction products from the cell.

Evaluation of coated metallic bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated a number of protective coatings deposited on stainless steel substrates by electroplating and physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods, and the results showed that Zr-coated samples satisfy the DOE target for corrosion resistance at both anode and cathode sides in typical PEM fuel cell environments in the short-term but they do not meet the DOE contact resistance goal.

Recent Advances in Materials for Fuel Cells
TL;DR: In this paper, material requirements for SOFC and PEMFC stacks, together with an introductory section on materials technology for reformers, are discussed, and it is concluded that the introduction of alternative materials/processes that would enable SOFC stacks to operate at 150-200°C, and IT-SOFC stacks at 500-700°C would have a major impact on the successful commercialization of fuel cell technology.
