摘要：

Traditional dense microporous layers (MPLs) are suitable for low-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), but they greatly hinder mass transport in high-temperature PEMFCs. Here, we report a novel cathode MPL based on reticulated polyaniline nanowires that were grown on carbon paper via in-situ electropolymerization. The maximum power density of the high-temperature PEMFC based on the new MPL was 476 mW/cm(2), which was 36% higher than that based on a conventional MPL. Oxygen gain tests and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed that the new MPL accelerated oxygen transfer due to its unique pore size distribution, which ultimately improved the performance of the HT-PEMFC.
