“…Figure 1 shows the TGA data and the applied temperature ramp mimicking the heat-treatment procedure during the preparation of GDLs and freestanding MPLs, which is necessary to decompose undesired components in the MPL, such as emulsifiers and thickeners, and to sinter PTFE particles, which improves the overall performance. 33,34 The dried PTFE dispersion consists of PTFE and emulsifier and is showing a weight loss of 7 wt% over the whole heat-treatment procedure, initiating at a temperature of ≈210…”

“…(17); and (iii) the region on the right (second sharp drop) corresponds to the concentration polarization, accounted for by the last two terms of Eq. (17). Note that, the polarization curves of the four porosity mod-els overlap in the region of low-to-medium current density (the linear regime), while at higher current density close to the limiting value, differences between the four models become significant.…”

“…In fact, the GDL is composed of a thin layer of carbon black mixed with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a carbon paper consisting of rigid carbon fibbers with a diameter of about 10 m, and a porous structure formed by carbon fibbers with a pore size of 20-50 m and 70-80% porosity of volume. Any change in the composition or the morphology of the GDL can lead to a substantial influence on fuel cell performance owing to a porosity change [16][17][18][19]. In practice, the presence of water generated in the GDL during fuel cell operation can also change the effective porosity, and this change may vary with time and position.…”

“…Different experimental groups have shown that the use of MPLs usually results in FCs that exhibit better performance. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] However, the improvement depends on the operating conditions, and the exact reasons are mainly unknown and unquantified.…”

“…Flooding losses were less when the air was fed humidified, and with a dry air feed, the ohmic losses were lower as well. Jordan et al 8 examined the effect of the pore size distribution ͑PSD͒ of the MPLs on performance. They did this by examining different types of carbon.…”
