Abstract:Summary
Microporous layer (MPL) has been proven to significantly improve water management in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). However, its effects on fuel cell durability have not been fully revealed. In this contribution, the effects of MPL on the degradation of PEM fuel cells are investigated. Two single fuel cells, with and without MPL at the cathode, are assembled. The aging test is conducted and the cell performance is periodically characterized under various operating conditions. The experime… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
