摘要

The Monte Carlo simulation method is used to carry out numerical modelling of the polymerelectrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) catalyst layer with a random catalyst particles distribution ina polymer matrix. The approaches of mass transport and electrochemical kinetics are applied forestimation of potential distribution and current generation in the catalyst layer. It is shown that largeparticles of the catalyst support (agglomerates of nanofibers) provide percolation for electron transportat a lower concentration in comparison with compact catalyst support particles (i.e. Vulcan XC-72R).Mixtures of such supports also have a lower percolation threshold. It gives the possibility to increasepolymer concentration, stabilise water balance and decrease ohmic losses for ion transport in thecatalyst layer. The numerical estimations demonstrate the possibility of precious metal loadingreduction up to 30% and the increase of performance (current density) up to 20% just due to additionof carbon nanofibers in the catalyst layers. In the experimental study we reached an increase ofPEMFC current density for about 10% when we used the Vulcan XC-72R supported Pt catalysttogether with the Pt catalysts on nanofibres.
