A two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics model of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was formulated by taking into account the liquid water transport through the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) on the basis of the agglomerate catalyst framework. Various modes of water transport in

The presence of liquid water in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell hinders gas diffusion to the active sites, which results in large concentration overpotentials and instability of the fuel cell performance. In this paper, a new customized gas diffusion layer (GDL) is presented that enhances l
## Abstract Water content in the membrane and the presence of liquid water in the catalyst layers (CL) and the gas diffusion layers (GDL) play a very important role in the performance of a PEM fuel cell. To study water transport in a PEM fuel cell, a twoβphase flow mathematical model is developed.
## Abstract Water transport in an operating PEM fuel cell was investigated with synchrotron Xβray radiography with a spatial resolution of 3βΞΌm and a temporal resolution of 5βs. This method allows for the detection of water accumulations with less than 10βΞΌm diameter. We demonstrate that synchrotro
