Water flow through carbon cloth and carbon paper gas diffusion media used for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells treated with Teflon was measured. The gas diffusion layer (GDL) media are hydrophobic and it is necessary to apply pressure to force water to penetrate into the pores of these materi
A simple equation for the optimal shape of catalyst loading along the oxygen channel of a PEM fuel cell is derived. This shape g(z; ) is a one-parametric, independent of cell current function of the distance z along the channel; is the stoichiometry of the oxygen flow. Optimal g homogenizes local ce
Accurate information on the temperature field and associated heat transfer rates are particularly important in devising appropriate heat and water management strategies in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. An important parameter in fuel cell performance analysis is the effective thermal con
Previous studies have shown experimentally that the current density in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell can be significantly higher under the land than under the channel in most practical operating cell voltage ranges [14]. In order to determine if the difference in electrical resistances
In the present work, preliminary results of different hydrophobic surface treatments for gas diffusion layer (GDL) for PEM fuel cells are presented. This hydrophobic coating consists of new perfluoropolyether (PFPE) derivatives, in comparison to standard polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) dispersions. E
