The 3D structure of the catalyst layer (CL) in the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is
modeled with a Pt/carbon (Pt/C) ratio of 0.4–2.3 and ionomer/carbon (i/C) ratio of 0.5–1.5 …

An optimum balance between performance and Pt loading is critically important for the
commercialization of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. This research aims to …
