In situ 3D X-ray imaging of water distribution in each layer of a membrane electrode assembly of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell

Abstract

In situ 3D computed tomography imaging with statistical analysis successfully revealed the water accumulation and drainage characteristics in the stacked gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell. Efficient water drainage at the interface between the cathode GDL and MEA was confirmed upon supplying oxygen to the cathode.
