Hydroforming rules and quality control parameters analysis for metal bipolar plate

Jie Zhang et al.

Summary: This study establishes a hydroforming model to investigate the quality control mechanism of bipolar plate hydroforming. The results demonstrate that increasing the pressure in the hydroforming process improves the formability and filling rate of bipolar plates, but can also lead to partial fractures. Moreover, the forming effect of the die's outer radius is better than that of the inner radius, while the draft angle has minimal impact on formability.

The effect of non-uniform compression on the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Nivedita Kulkarni et al.

Summary: This study uses X-ray CT to characterize the compressed MEA and finds that non-uniform compression affects the localized current distribution and water transport in fuel cells. Increased compression has little effect on the performance in the activation region, but significantly affects the performance in the mass transport region, promoting cell flooding.

Surface roughness of AISI 1010 and AISI 304 of PEMFC bipolar plates with microscale hydroformed capillary channels

Ayotunde Olayinka et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between strain and deformation induced surface roughness of channels made from AISI 304 stainless steel and AISI 1010 mild steel. The results indicate that the final roughness of the formed part depends on the initial roughness of the sheet metal, and that the surface roughness increases with increasing forming pressure and strain of the sheet metal.

Mechanical stress and strain investigation of sulfonated Poly(ether ether ketone) proton exchange membrane in fuel cells: A numerical study

Mehran Yousefi Tehrani et al.

Summary: In this study, a complex finite element model is developed to investigate the mechanical response of hydrocarbon-based membranes under different fuel cell conditions. The results show that sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes undergo the most severe swelling-induced degradation at low voltages, high temperatures, and backpressure values. Clamping pressure is a dominant factor, and Nafion membranes have a higher risk of wrinkle deformation under compression.

Influence of external clamping pressure on nanoscopic mechanical deformation and catalyst utilization of quaternion PtC catalyst layers for PEMFCs

Ali Akbar et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effect of external clamping pressure on the morphology, interconnectivity, and electrochemical catalyst utilization of catalyst layers (CLs) in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). A compression model is developed and validated, and the impact of compression on various parameters critical for CL transport properties and performance is analyzed. The results show that the interconnectivities of different phases in CLs are strongly influenced by the applied pressure. Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of the CLs is compared to enhance overall fuel cell performance. Insights from this study can contribute to a better understanding of fuel cell performance.

Effects of bolt torque and gasket geometric parameters on open-cathode polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Shuang Xing et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates that increasing torque can reduce ohmic resistance and improve cell performance, but excessive torque can lead to an increase in mass transfer resistance. Additionally, reducing gasket thickness and width can decrease ohmic resistance and enhance cell performance, while excessively thin gaskets may result in serious mass transfer issues. The relationship between GDL compression, gasket, and sealing groove must be carefully matched to optimize performance of the open-cathode polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
