Journal Article
Orogbemi, O. M., Ingham, D. B., Ismail, M. S., Hughes, K. J., Ma, L., & Pourkashanian, M. (2018). On the gas permeability of the microporous layer used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Journal of the Energy Institute, 91(6), 894-901. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joei.2017.09.006

In an attempt to obtain accurate values of the gas permeability of the microporous layer (MPL), substrates with negligible MPL penetration and of known gas permeability, i.e. membrane filters, have been employed. The values of the MPL permeability ob... Read More about On the gas permeability of the microporous layer used in polymer electrolyte fuel cells.

Simultaneous direct visualisation of liquid water in the cathode and anode serpentine flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells (2017)
Journal Article
Aslam, R. M., Ingham, D. B., Ismail, M. S., Hughes, K. J., Ma, L., & Pourkashanian, M. (2018). Simultaneous direct visualisation of liquid water in the cathode and anode serpentine flow channels of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. Journal of the Energy Institute, 91(6), 1057-1070. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.joei.2017.07.003

Water flooding is detrimental to the performance of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) and therefore it has to be addressed. To better understand how liquid water affects the fuel cell performance, direct visualisation of liquid water in...

Effects of catalyst agglomerate shape in polymer electrolyte fuel cells investigated by a multi-scale modelling framework (2017)
Journal Article
Ismail, M. S., Ingham, D. B., Ma, L., Hughes, K. J., & Pourkashanian, M. (2017). Effects of catalyst agglomerate shape in polymer electrolyte fuel cells investigated by a multi-scale modelling framework. Energy, 122, 420-430. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.energy.2017.01.092

A multi-scale modelling framework is developed for the PEFC cathode electrode. Unlike the conventional agglomerate model, the effects of the microstructure of the agglomerate are numerically coupled to the fuel cell-scale model in this framework. Thi...
