摘要

Gas diffusion layer (GDL) is undoubtedly one of the most complicated components used in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) in terms of liquid and gas transport phenomena. An appropriate fuel cell design seeks a fundamental study of this tortuous porous component. Currently, porosity and gas permeability have been known as some of the key parameters affecting liquid and gas transport through GDL. Although these are dominant parameters defining mass transport through porous layers, there are still many other factors affecting transport phenomena as well as overall cell performance. In this work, microstructural properties of Toray carbon papers with different thicknesses and for polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) treated and untreated cases have been studied based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image analysis. Water droplet contact angle as a dominant macro-scale property as well as mean pore diameter, pore diameter distribution, and pore roundness distribution as important micro-scale properties have been studied. It was observed that the mean pore diameter of Toray carbon paper does not change with its thickness and PTFE content. Mean pore diameter for Toray carbon papers was calculated to be around 26μm regardless of their thicknesses and PTFE content. It was also observed that droplet contact angle on GDL surface does not vary with GDL thickness. The average contact angle for 10 wt.% PTFE treated GDLs of different thicknesses was measured about 150°. Finally, the heterogeneous in-plane PTFE distribution on the GDL surface was observed to have no effect on mean pore diameter of GDLs.
