Superhydrophobic flow channel surface and its impact on PEM fuel cell performance

Wang, Yongxin; Al Shakhshir, Saher; Li, Xianguo; Chen, P. (Oxford University Press, 2014-09-01)

Water management is a critical issue in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and it is normally achieved through the modification of surface wettability condition for the cell components. In this study, ...
Surface Wettability Impact on Water Management in PEM Fuel Cell

Al Shakhshir, Saher (University of Waterloo, 2012-10-01)

Excessive water formation inside the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell’s structures leads to the flooding of the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) and cathode gas flow channels. This results in a negative impact ...
