“…In addition to the conventional serpentine and straight channels [1], a conventional and interdigitated-switchable gas flow field was proposed to improve the cell performance under flooded conditions [2], and a self-draining stirred tank reactor cell was proposed for operations with low relative humidity gases [3]. To develop a detailed understanding of PEFC dynamics, a number of studies on the diagnostics of PEFC, such as on the measurement of the current density distribution and visualization of the water production behavior, have been conducted [3][4][5][6][7][8][9], and an overview was provided on the distributions of current density, high-frequency resistance, gas species and temperature, and including a two-phase visualization [1]. The effects of the distribution of the produced water and the gas composition on the cell performance were discussed using the measured results of the current density distribution [4,5], and the relationships between the local cell impedance and current density have also been investigated [3].…”
