Water droplet detachment characteristics on surfaces of gas diffusion layers in PEMFCs

Mengjie Li et al.

Summary: Water management is crucial for the performance and stability of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). This study investigates the detachment characteristics of water droplets on the gas diffusion layer (GDL) surface under different contact angles and channel heights. The results show that droplet detachment is influenced by the gas Reynolds number and the presence of PTFE on the GDL surface. The study also suggests that reducing the channel height can improve water detachment.

Effect of Structural Parameters on Mass Transfer Characteristics in the Gas Diffusion Layer of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells Using the Lattice Boltzmann Method

Jiadong Liao et al.

Summary: The gas diffusion layer (GDL) is vital for effective gas transport in proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Structural parameters like carbon fiber diameter, porosity, and thickness significantly influence the mass transfer characteristics of the GDL. Increasing fiber diameter and porosity can enhance gas velocity and diffusion characteristics, while increasing thickness may reduce gas velocity and weaken diffusion, but with less noticeable effects.

Shuang Sheng et al.

Summary: The construction of hollow needle-like copper cobalt sulfide on carbon cloth as a bifunctional electrocatalyst shows superior catalytic activity and durability in ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR) and excellent hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) performance. The homemade ethanol-water electrolyser only demands a low voltage to deliver high current density, making it promising for energy-saving H-2 production and oxidation of ethanol into value-added acetic acid. This work may pave the way for the rational design of other electrocatalysts for efficient biomass oxidation reaction and relevant H-2 production applications.
