“…Nowadays, additive manufacturing is the most powerful technique for fabricating porous material with complex internal and overall designs having enhanced properties compared to the other fabrication methods. The Additive manufacturing technique is well known for its versatility and accuracy [ 43 ]. 3D printing is not just restricted to the porous material.…”

“…In this method, the pore agent is extracted by melting in the sintering process rather than decomposition and dissolving. The whole process is the same as the thermal decomposition, as shown in Figure 10 b, except for removing the pore agent by melting during the sintering process [ 18 , 43 ]. The two studies of Mg and ice as pore agents are shown in Table 8 .…”

“…Seven methods of 3D printing are currently used for printing these materials, as shown in Figure 6b. Every method has its pros and cons; therefore, an appropriate manufacturing method should be chosen before printing [43]. For titanium GDL, powder bed fusion is mainly preferred.…”

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a renewable energy source rapidly approaching commercial viability. The performance is significantly affected by the transfer of fluid, charges, and heat; gas diffusion layer (GDL) is primarily concerned with the consistent transfer of these components, which are heavily influenced by the material and design. High-efficiency GDL must have excellent thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, permeability, corrosion resistance, and high mechanical characteristics. The first step in creating a high-performance GDL is selecting the appropriate material. Therefore, titanium is a suitable substitute for steel or carbon due to its high strength-to-weight and superior corrosion resistance. The second crucial parameter is the fabrication method that governs all the properties. This review seeks to comprehend numerous fabrication methods such as tape casting, 3D printing, freeze casting, phase separation technique, and lithography, along with the porosity controller in each process such as partial sintering, input design, ice structure, pore agent, etching time, and mask width. Moreover, other GDL properties are being studied, including microstructure and morphology. In the future, GeoDict simulation is highly recommended for optimizing various GDL properties, as it is frequently used for other porous materials. The approach can save time and energy compared to intensive experimental work.
