Development and electrochemical studies of gas diffusion electrodes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of low catalyst loading gas diffusion electrodes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells is analyzed using theoretical models of the electrode structure and of the fuel cell system, and it is shown that most of the electrodes present limiting currents and some also show linear diffusion components arising from diffusion limitations in the gas channels and/or in the thin film of electrolyte covering the catalyst particles.
