An engineering approach to optimal metallic bipolar plate designs reflecting gas diffusion layer compression effects

Kim, Ah-Reum; Jung, Hye-Mi; Um, Sukkee - In: Energy 66 (2014) C, pp. 50-55

GDL (Gas diffusion layer) intrusion into gas feeding channels narrows the effective channel cross-sectional area and eventually results in performance degradation of PEFCs (polymer electrolyte fuel cells). Therefore, cross-sectional channel design of metallic bipolar plates should be optimized...
