Theoretical analysis of the effect of isotropy on the effective diffusion coefficient in the porous and agglomerated phase of the electrodes of a PEMFC

Abstract In polymer membrane fuel cells (PEMFC), the pore microstructure and the effective diffusion coefficient ( $$D_{eff}$$ D eff ) of the catalytic layer have a significant impact on the overall performance of the fuel cell. In this work, numerical methods to simulate PEMFC catalytic layers were...
