Electrochemical performance and water management investigation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) using gas diffusion layer with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content gradients in through-plane direction

In Seop Lim et al.

Summary: The impact of varying polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content in gas diffusion layers (GDLs) on water management capability and electrochemical performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) was investigated. The results showed that under high humidity conditions, GDLs without PTFE content variation exhibited the best performance, while GDLs with increasing PTFE content towards the channel showed the best performance under low humidity conditions.

Experimental probing of the effect of PFSA ionomer poisoning at different Pt loadings in a PEMFC

Fen Zhou et al.

Summary: In this study, the charge-transfer resistance (Rct) was used as an activity indicator to investigate the suppression of rotating disk electrodes (RDEs) and membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) with different Pt loadings by Nafion. Nafion showed a stronger poisoning effect at lower Pt loadings, which was exacerbated by a simultaneous reduction in working voltage under low-Pt conditions.
