A numerical study of structural change and anisotropic permeability in compressed carbon cloth polymer electrolyte fuel cell gas diffusion layers

The effect of compression on the actual structure and transport properties of the carbon cloth gas diffusion layer (GDL) of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) are studied here. Structural features of GDL samples compressed in the 0.0 – 100.0 MPa range are encapsulated using polydimethylsiloxane...
