TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present the latest ideas for improvements in the membrane electrode assembly and its components with regard to water and thermal management and materials, which are expected to be implemented in next-generation PEMFCs to achieve high power density.

TL;DR: Proton conducting channels orthogonal to the plane of composite proton exchange membranes are aligned using a magnetic field for improved fuel cell performance and durability.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional and transient model has been developed for the thermal management of a 20-flat-plate-battery stack, followed by comprehensive numerical simulations to study the influences of ambient temperature, Reynolds number, and discharge rate on the temperature distribution in the stack with different cooling materials.

TL;DR: In this article, a volume-of-fluid method for a flow channel having a hydrophilic plate in the middle of the channel was used to investigate the process of water removal and transport in a proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D numerical model for engine exhaust-based thermoelectric generator (ETEG) system is developed, and the exhaust channel size needs to be moderate to balance the heat transfer to TEG modules and pressure drop along channel.
