Collective enhancement in hydrophobicity and electrical conductivity of gas diffusion layer and the electrochemical performance of PEMFCs

X. L. Wang et al.

Summary: In this work, a facile strategy for collectively optimizing the hydrophobicity and electrical conductivity (EC) of GDL was proposed through hydrothermal deposition and high-temperature sintering process (HDS-GDL). The results showed that the HDS-GDL had enhanced surface water contact angle and improved in-plane and through-plane ECs compared to the original GDL. Furthermore, the HDS-GDL with collectively enhanced hydrophobicity and ECs further improved the electrochemical performance of PEMFCs.

Enhancing water transport performance of gas diffusion layers through coupling manipulation of pore structure and hydrophobicity

X. L. Wang et al.

Summary: In this study, the hydrothermal decoration approach is used to enhance the hydrophobicity of a commercial GDL. The enhanced water discharge capacity of the GDL induced by hydrothermal decoration can enhance the water management performance of PEMFCs.

Numerical investigation of wetting front migration and soil water distribution under vertical line source irrigation with different influencing factors

Yanwei Fan et al.

Summary: Vertical line source irrigation (VLSI) is an underground irrigation method suitable for deep-rooted plants. Understanding the characteristics of the soil wetting body of the VLSI is crucial for designing the irrigation system. Factors such as soil texture, initial water content, line source diameter, and line source length have significant impacts on the migration of the wetting front in VLSI.
