A Molecular Model of PEMFC Catalyst Layer: Simulation on Reactant Transport and Thermal Conduction

A Molecular Model of PEMFC Catalyst Layer: Simulation on Reactant Transport and Thermal Conduction

Minimizing platinum (Pt) loading while reserving high reaction efficiency in the catalyst layer (CL) has been confirmed as one of the key issues in improving the performance and application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). To enhance the reaction efficiency of Pt catalyst in CL, the...
