Progress of Simulation of Gas Diffusion Layer and Fuel Cell by COMSOL
The research progress of the simulation of proton exchange membrane fuel cell using COMSOL software was summarized in this pa-per,the influence of substrate layer(carbon paper layer)and entire gas diffusion layer characteristics(geometric parameters,porosity,etc.)and operating conditions(pressure,etc.)on the performance of the battery were analyzed.The fuel cell operating conditions(temperature,voltage,etc.),water management,battery flow field structure design and performance evaluation were reviewed,in order to provide refer-ence for the structural design of gas diffusion layer and the performance optimization of battery.
