Due to their outstanding structural, transport and electrical characteristics, nickel foams serve as excellent candidate materials for gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). In this work, a new three-dimensional PEFC m... Read More about Polymer electrolyte fuel cell operating with nickel foam-based gas diffusion layers: A numerical investigation.

Influence of catalyst agglomerate internal structure on PEFC performance investigated by a multiscale numerical model (2024)
Journal Article

Patterned hydrophobic gas diffusion layers for enhanced water management in polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Chemical Engineering Journal, 484, Article 149711. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cej.2024.149711

Flooding of the cathode due to water accumulation is one of the biggest limiting factors in the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). This study therefore attempts to solve this issue by fabricating gas diffusion layers (GDLs) with d...
