Water management in an AB-PEMFC (air-breathing proton exchange membrane fuel cell) poses a big challenge due to its passive operation. The issue is addressed in a passive way by designing the fuel cell with low thermal conductivity materials. Use of low thermal conductivity materials for cell...

This paper focuses on reviewing the main factors affecting the life time of fuel cells on vehicles. The main difference between fuel cells used in vehicles and fuel cells used as fixed power is the load cycling. Load cycling sometimes leads to water management and gas transport problems, which...
