摘要：
Gas diffusion layer (GDL) plays an important role in supporting the catalytic layer and providing the transmission access of gas and water in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Designing and optimizing the structure of GDL significantly influence the performance of fuel cell. In this paper, the application prospect of hydrogen fuel cell and the structure and working principle of PEMFC are briefly introduced. The problem of insufficient gas-liquid transmission capacity of GDL is pointed out and the effects of pore structure, carbon material, and microstructure of microporous layer, wettability and durability on the performance of GDL are analyzed. This review also summarizes the current research progress of GDL including the modeling studies. Finally, various factors affecting the performance of GDL are summarized, and the development of PEMFC is prospected. It is pointed out that novel metal foam materials could replace the traditional carbon materials to construct the GDL-BP integrated structure with shorter transmission path and smaller mass transfer resistance. It is also proposed to use the emerging 3D printing technology to construct GDL with high precision and complex structure. This review has certain guiding significance for future work in optimizing the gas diffusion layer structure and improving the fuel cell performance. © 2023 Chemical Industry Press.
