摘要
We report an analytical solution for the membrane potential in a PEM fuel cell which consist of a half-plane (semi-infinite) anode and a large-area (infinite) cathode. Mathematically, the problem is analogous to the Gouy-Chapman problem for the potential distribution inside the diffuse double layer at a flat metal/electrolyte interface. An expression for the characteristic length l(*) of the membrane potential variation in the anode-free domain is derived. This expression suggests a minimum distance 3l(*) between the anode edge and a reference electrode at which the potential of the reference electrode yields the cathode overpotential in the working domain of the cell.
