摘要: Carbon nano-materials were applied to the gas diffusion layers of PEMFC. Gas consist medium(carbon cloth or carbon paper) and micro-layers. blacks, such as Vulcan XC 72, have been widely used for Main functions are distribution reactants active site electrode, management water supplied and/or generated enhancement electrical contact between electrode bipolar plates. In this work, nano-fibers nano-tubes adopted micro-layer layers. By applying nano-materials, thinner micro-layers can be fabricated. This newly made showed higher permeability good electric conductivity with similar degree well enhanced performance.
