TLDR
In actual practice, fuel cells are often designed at around 1000 Wm−2 and values an order of magnitude higher have been demonstrated as mentioned in this paper, due to a very low diffusion rate in electrolytes.Abstract:
Dr McKee (Physics Bulletin December 1978 p565) asserts that the maximum power available from fuel cells is limited to 200 W for a 1 m2 electrode which he attributes to 'a very low diffusion rate in electrolytes'. In actual practice fuel cells are often designed at around 1000 Wm−2 and values an order of magnitude higher have been demonstrated.read more
