Research Abstract |
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) have been developed in stationary, automobile and portable applications. Since the reaction of fuel and oxygen and the transport of the gaseous species and generated water are simultaneously occurring in the PEFC cells, it is important to discriminate each process for scientific research. It is proposed to use MEMS-based gas diffusion layers, a cell component, in PEFC, and its advantage has been investigated. Also the promising feature of the component for higher performance has been suggested.
