Modeling and Experimental Diagnostics in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

Abstract: This paper presents a fit between model and experiment for well‐humidified polymer electrolyte fuel cells operated to maximum current density with a range of cathode gas compositions. The model considers, in detail, losses caused by: (i) interfacial kinetics at the Pt/ionomer interface, (ii) gas‐transport and ionic‐conductivity limitations in the catalyst layer, and (iii) gas‐transport limitations in the cathode backing. Our experimental data were collected with cells that utilized thin‐film catalyst layers bo… Show more

“…Bernardi and Verbrugge [7] employed gas-phase transport and membrane models to investigate the performance of a gas-fed porous cathode bonded to a polymer electrolyte, and later they developed a one-dimensional isothermal model for the cell [8]. Springer et al [9,10] also derived an isothermal, one-dimensional, steady-state model of a PEM fuel cell to simulate performance with a partially dehydrated membrane. Following the work of Bernardi and Verbrugge [8], Singh et al [11] developed a two-dimensional isothermal model to investigate the effect of two-dimensionality on fuel cell performance.…”

“…Extensive researches have been carried out to simulate the fuel cells. For instance, Bernardi and Verbrugge [1,2], and Sourceer et al [3,4] built one-dimensional models. Fuller and Newman [5], Nguyen and White [6], Gurau et al [7], and Yi and Nguyen [8,9] presented similar pseudo twodimensional models which were actually the models along the fluid path.…”
