A Generic Electrical Circuit for Performance Analysis of the Fuel Cell Cathode Catalyst Layer through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
In this study, a generic electrical circuit is presented to characterise the frequency response of the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) Cathode Catalyst Layer (CCL) at different current densities. The new electrical circuit is derived from fundamental electrochemical and diffusion theory. It consists of a transmission line in combination with distributed Warburg elements. The validation of ...
متن کاملImpact of anisotropy level of gas diffusion layer on the temperature distribution of a PEM fuel cell cathode electrode
Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells being employed in fuel cell vehicles (FCVs) are promising power generators producing electric power from fuel stream via porous electrodes. Structure of carbon paper gas diffusion layers (GDLs) applying in the porous electrodes can have a great influence on the PEM fuel cell performance and distribution of temperature, especially at the cathode side whe...
متن کاملThe Impact of Wettability on Effective Properties of Cathode Catalyst Layer in a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell
The produced liquid water in cathode catalyst layer (CCL) has significant effect on the operation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). To investigate this effect, the transport of oxygen in CCL in the presence of immiscible liquid water is studied applying a two-dimensional pore scale model. The CCL was reconstructed as an agglomerated system. To explore the wettability effects, diffe...
متن کاملPlatinum Nanoparticles Deposited on Oxygen-Containing Functional Groups at Carbon Vulcane XC-72 as a Cathode Catalyst for Direct Methanol Fuel Cell
Surface oxidized carbon vulcane XC-72 is prepared as catalyst support and platinumnanoparticles are chemically anchored onto the modified surface. The nanoparticles of Pt weresynthesized by reduction of H2PtCl6 with sodium borohydride in a 5.5 M buffer solution ofsodium citrate; the complexation of citrate with metal ions is beneficial to the formation ofnanoparticles. The electro-oxidation of ...
متن کاملModeling and Optimization of non - isothermal two- phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer of PEM fuel cell
In this paper, a non-isothermal two-phase flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) of PEM fuel cell is modeled. The governing equations including energy, mass and momentum conservation equations are solved by numerical methods. Also, the optimal values of the effective parameters such as the electrodes porosity, gas diffusion layer (GDL) thickness and inlet relative humidity are calculated...
