Abstract:

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a green energy technology with great potential due to its advantages of high efficiency and zero emission. As a reasonable and reliable tool, mathematical models can guide the optimal design of PEMFC by simulating the electrochemical heat and mass transfer process inside PEMFC and study the influence of operating parameters and structural parameters on the performance and lifespan of PEMFC. In this paper, the research models of the PEMFC catalyst layer, gas diffusion layer and flow channel in recent years are reviewed, and the influencing factors and optimization methods of each component modeling are sorted out, which can provide a guideline for the modeling and optimal design of PEMFC. Considering the limitations of the current simulations, the main research directions in the future are the combination of the PEMFC system research and mechanism model, the modeling of catalytic layer microstructure, non-precious metal catalyst, gas diffusion layer degradation, large-area flow channel, and 3D temperature distribution, and the full-scale proton exchange membrane fuel cell model development.

Key words: proton exchange membrane fuel cell, modeling, catalyst layer, gas diffusion layer, flow field
