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...
