Water Flow in, Through, and Around the Gas Diffusion Layer
The gas diffusion layer (GDL) is an essential element of the electrodes in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The GDL makes electrical contact with the catalyst layers to provide a larger area to carry the electronic current from the catalyst to the bipolar plates reducing the resistance for current flow. The GDL must be porous to permit the flow of reactant gas from the gas flow ch...
متن کاملInfluence of aqueous diffusion layer on passive drug diffusion from aqueous cyclodextrin solutions through biological membranes.
Most drugs permeate biological membranes via passive diffusion and it is generally assumed that the main barrier is the lipophilic structure of the membrane. However, we have observed that the unstirred water layer adjacent to the membrane surface can in some cases be a barrier just as effective as the lipophilic membrane itself. Hydrophilic cyclodextrins can enhance drug delivery through biolo...
متن کاملIon transport through diffusion layer controlled by charge mosaic membrane
The kinetic transport behaviors in near interface of the membranes were studied using commercial anion and cation exchange membrane and charge mosaic membrane. From chronopotentiometry above the limiting current density, the transition time was estimated. The thickness of boundary layer was derived with conjunction with the conventional limiting current density and the transition time from stea...

متن کاملSingle walled carbon nanotube in the reaction layer of gas diffusion electrode for oxygen reduction reaction
In this paper, the effect of surface area of reaction layers in gas diffusion electrodes on oxygen reduction reaction was investigated. For this purpose, various amounts (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and zero %wt of total loading of reaction layer) of single walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were inserted in the reaction layer. The performance of gas diffusion electrodes for oxygen reduction re...
