Design, fabrication and performance test of a planar array module-type micro fuel cell stack

Influence of gas channel depth in self-humidified miniature PEM fuel cells with dead-ended anode

“…In miniature and micro fuel cells designed for low power output (1e50 W), the fuel cell active area approaches 8 cm 2 with maximum power densities ranging from 20 to 250 mW/ cm 2 [14,15]. This observed performance is nearly an order of magnitude lower than PEMFCs with active areas larger than 100 cm 2 .…”

“…where m fc is the variable PEMFC stack mass, m H 2 is the stored hydrogen fuel mass shown in (15), and m H 2 ;sys and m air,sys are the mass of the hydrogen and air delivery systems. The mass of micro-controllers needed for onboard monitoring and control is neglected assuming that the existing data collection system onboard the CMET will be adequate.…”

Enhanced water management in the cathode of an air-breathing PEMFC using a dual catalyst layer and optimizing the gas diffusion and microporous layers

“…[15,24e30]. Such as, Hsieh et al [31] reported that the 20wt.% PTFE content at cathode GDL could enhanced the performance and water management of the ab-PEMFCs. Bussayajarn et al [32] prepared the GDL for ab-PEMFCs cathode with the PTFE content of 30wt.%.…”

Development of a Bi‐cell Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell with Optimized Groove‐designed Piezoelectric Actuator

“…Hsieh and Huang tested a novel planar array module consisting of 4, 8, 12, and 16 single PEMFCs connected in series on a plane with two different pin‐electrode flow field configurations. The effects of different operating parameters, such as stack temperature and gas flow rate, on the performance of individual PEMFCs and FC stacks have also been studied.…”
