In-situ measurement of humidity distribution and its effect on the performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Junjie Zhao et al.

Summary: Understanding internal water distribution is crucial for developing high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). This study divided the cathode flow field into 9 areas and measured relative humidity in real time using microsensors. The results showed that relative humidity significantly affects the internal resistance of PEMFCs, and strategies like increasing pressure and cathode humidification can alleviate related issues. Additionally, the degree of corrosion in the catalyst's carbon support is closely related to water concentration in the cathode, highlighting the importance of water management downstream of the flow field.

Current density and temperature distribution measurement and homogeneity analysis for a large-area proton exchange membrane fuel cell

Tianwei Miao et al.

Summary: The study investigates the local current density (LCD) and temperature distributions of a PEMFC with different cathode flow fields, and introduces a homogeneity parameter to evaluate the uniformity of LCD distribution. Results show that the cell with dot-parallel flow field performs better in terms of performance and LCD distribution uniformity. Temperature distribution is generally positively correlated with LCD distribution. Increasing cathode stoichiometry can effectively improve LCD distribution uniformity and mitigate local oxygen starvation at high loads.
