Fall 2016
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) operate with a ternary mixture of fuel and reactants. The majority of numerical models in the literature, including the in-house Open-source Fuel Cell Simulation Toolbox (OpenFCST) software, use Fick’s law of diffusion which is only valid for binary...

Mathematical modeling and experimental validation of thin low platinum content and functionally graded cathode catalyst layers
DownloadFall 2014
Low catalyst content remains a key requirement for the commercialization of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) into the energy, transportation, and material handling sectors. Understanding the fundamental phenomena reducing fuel cell performance at various stages of operation play a major...
