Journal ArticleDOI
An improved two-dimensional agglomerate cathode model to study the influence of catalyst layer structural parameters
TL;DR: In this article, a two-dimensional model for PEM fuel cell cathode has been developed, which treats the catalyst layer as agglomerates of polymer electrolyte coated catalyst particles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental investigation of the role of a microporous layer on the water transport and performance of a PEM fuel cell
TL;DR: In this paper, the role of a microporous layer attached to carbon paper porous transport layer (PTL) on the water transport and performance of a standard 100 cm2 active area PEM fuel cell was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of transport-property measurements and structural characterization is used to demonstrate that confinement of Nafion in thin films induced thickness-dependent proton conductivity and ionic-domain structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the evaluation of the viscosity of nanofluid systems: Modeling and data assessment
TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of the most important modeling works on viscosity of nanofluids including theoretical models, empirical correlations, and computer-aided models is conducted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrated fuel processors for fuel cell application : A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the key technological progress made over two decades in the field of development of integrated fuel processor for hydrogen generation is discussed, and a number of these studies discuss the application of reforming process assisted by other technologies such as pressure swing adsorption and membrane separation to enhance the hydrogen productivity and purity.
