## Abstract This study investigates the gas permeability, conductivity and performance of two types of gas diffusion layer (90βgβm^β2^ and 190βgβm^β2^) with various hydrophobic treatments. The performance is measured using a single proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with an active area of 2
This research investigates the optimal polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) by evaluating the effect of compression on the performance of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. A special test fixture is designed to control the compression ratio, and th
Gas diffusion layer (GDL) is a porous medium placed between the flow field and the catalyst layer in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), and experiences electrochemical aging and mechanical stresses during usage. In the present work carbon cloth and carbon paper, two commonly used GDLs in
