摘要
Gas diffusion layer (GDL) with different polytetrafluoroethylene ( PTFE) contents in the carbon substrate and the micro-porous layer (MPL) were investigated for the application in poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI)-based high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HTPEMFC). The physical properties of the GDLs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and pore size distribution. The electrochemical properties of the single cell based on these GDLs were evaluated and analyzed by I-V curve and electrochemistry impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The results showed the use of a minimal quantity of PTFE in the carbon substrate (similar to 15 wt%) and the MPL (similar to 5-10 wt%) are suggested for both good mechanical properties of the GDLs and the good fuel cell performance.
