| Research Abstract |
Water management of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is an important issue in the realization of cell performance improvement and long-term stable operation. The objective of this study is the development of a metallic separator with a self-water management function. The PEFC short stack composed of the metallic separator made by MIM method that could make metallic porous medium was evaluated about the basic property. Moreover, the visualization technique for a PEFC stack was established for confirmation of the water management of the MIM separator.
