摘要
Polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) electrodes were prepared by applying different porous gas diffusion half-layers (GDHLs) onto each face of a carbon cloth support, followed by the deposition of a catalyst layer onto one of these half-layers. The performance of PEFCs in H-2/air operation using cathodes with GDHLs presenting different characteristics were compared. The best result was obtained using cathodes with GDHLs having polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE) contents of 30 wt % in the gas side and 15 wt % in the catalyst side. This behaviour was explained in terms of a better water management within the cell.
