Effect of Commercial Gas Diffusion Layers on Catalyst Durability of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells in Varied Cathode Gas Environment

Journal Article Khedekar, Kaustubh ; Satjaritanun, Pongsarun ; Stewart, Sarah ; ... - Small

Abstract Gas diffusion layers (GDLs) play a crucial role in heat transfer and water management of cathode catalyst layers in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). Thermal and water gradients can accelerate electrocatalyst degradation and therefore the selection of GDLs can have a major influence on PEFC durability. Currently, the role of GDLs in electrocatalyst degradation is poorly studied. In this study, electrocatalyst accelerated stress test studies are performed on membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) prepared using three most commonly used GDLs. The effect of GDLs on electrocatalyst degradation is evaluated in both nitrogen (non‐reactive) and air (reactive) gas environments at 100%more »« less

A model of local distribution of saturation in a fractured layer, and its application

Conference Niibori, Yuichi ; Chida, Tadashi

This paper describes a model of local distribution of liquid water (or steam) saturation in a fractured layer. The model, based on the Bernoulli trials as a probability density function of saturation, gives the following relation between the average value of the relative permeability for the water phase, k{sub rwa}, and the arithmetical mean of saturation, S{sub wa}: k{sub rwa}=S{sub wa}{sup m} where m is an index representing the non-uniformity of saturation (1<=m<=4). When m=4, the saturation is distributed uniformly. The proposed model also gives the average value for the relative permeability of the steam phase, k{sub rga}, as follows:more »« less
