Interfacial contact resistance in fuel cells is one of the primary challenges that needs to be
overcome in the commercialization of fuel cells. This paper summarizes the governing …

This work addresses the issues of long-term leakage rate prediction, which is crucial for
durability study of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). A theoretical model is …

The sealing performance of gaskets is critical to the safety of PEMFC stacks. Leak through
the interface between gasket and BPP or MEA frame has been widely investigated, while …

To reduce the mass and improve the uniformity pressure distribution on gas diffusion layer
(GDL), a ribbed endplate is proposed as the original model. The endplate is then …

As the PEMFC is a complex multi-physics device whose reliability and durability depend on
the thermal-mechanical-electrical and chemical parameters. In this paper, theoretical and …

Abstract Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell can have a large active area, and the
working condition in different areas can be entirely different. Localized electrochemical …

A polymer electrolyte fuel cell stack of 2 kW of peak power has been designed,
manufactured and tested. Such a fuel cell stack has been envisaged to be applied for …

The fundamental magnitude which can be associated with the performance of a fuel cell is
the contact pressure. The contact pressure sustained by the GDL will directly impact the …

Addressing the leakage rate prediction problem of the PEMFC sealing system is of great
importance for its stable operation. The leakage calculation method of the PEMFC sealing …
