## Abstract It has now been well recognized that both the performance and durability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are closely related to the water accumulation and transport inside its porous components, particularly in the gas diffusion layer (GDL), and microporous layer (MPL).

The primary removal of product water in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells is through the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) which necessitates the understanding of vapor and liquid transport of water through porous media. In this investigation, the effect of microporous layer (MPL) coatings,
The formation-distribution of condensed water in diffusion medium of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and its tendency to reduce the local effective mass diffusivity and to influence cell performance, are studied. First the local effective mass diffusivity of a fibrous diffusion medium is determ
