摘要: Summary The cathode microporous layer (MPL) is fabricated by various multiwall carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and its influence on the performance of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) evaluated. Three types CNT with different dimensions are employed in experiments, conventional MPL made acetylene black (AB) also considered for purpose comparison. The results show that employment as composition indeed may improve significantly comparison case AB. type largest tube diameter straight cylinder shape exhibits highest performance. corresponding optimal loading polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) content Results composed 1.5 mg cm−2 20 wt% PTFE best all experimental cases. present data reveal application fabrication beneficial to promote PEMFC Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
