Mathematical modelling of the catalyst layer of a polymer-electrolyte fuel cell
In this paper we derive a mathematical model for the cathode catalyst layer of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. The model explicitly incorporates the restriction placed on oxygen in reaching the reaction sites, capturing the experimentally observed fall ...

Nanocomposite Membranes for Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Nanoparticles are known to play several roles as polymer fillers, among them reducing the bulk material price or adjusting the mechanical properties. In ion conducting polymer membranes, nanoparticles are also used to manipulate the water balance and fuel permeability of the membrane and to increase the ion conductivity.
