Recent advances in heat and water management of forced-convection open-cathode proton exchange membrane fuel cells

Low-cost transition metal–nitrogen–carbon electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction: operating conditions from aqueous electrolytes to fuel cells

“…Four ORR catalysts were successfully screened from 6871 different perovskite oxides, and their excellent activity indicators have been confirmed. In addition, multi-physical field coupling simulation 128,129 can also provide important guidance for component design, testing parameter optimization and performance improvement of PEMFCs. Therefore, the continuous development of theoretical simulation methods will play a vital role in the study of M–N–C catalysts under fuel cell operating conditions.…”

PEMFC Passive Thermal Management Systems: A Review

“…As we have seen before, there are many thermal problems in a PEMFC. Therefore, the thermal management of PEMFC is essential to ensure better performance, autonomy and optimal life [5,25,26]. A distinction is made between cooling and cold start techniques.…”

Biomimetic integrated gas diffusion layer inspired by alveoli for enhanced air-breathing fuel cell performance and stability

“…34–36 Additionally, another solution is designing and optimizing the structure of the cathode current collector plate. 37 For example, improvements in thermal conductivity and hydrophilicity, 38,39 as well as geometric parameters of the channels, including length, 40,41 width, 42,43 height 44,45 and rib-channel ratio. 46,47…”
