摘要

Recently, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been studied by scientistsworldwide as tools that can replace traditional energy sources to address issues related to energydepletion and environmental pollution. PEMFCs present many advantages for various applications,such as their high efficiency, ability to self-start at low temperatures and clean emissions. However,PEMFCs have not yet been widely used in applications due to their high manufacturing costs and lowlevels of power density. Flow-field design optimization serves as a good means to enhance fuel celloperations; as a result, many studies have focused on optimizing the flow field to improve watermanagement and fuel cell performance output. The paper provides a review of a variety of studiesconducted on flow-field configuration design that contribute greatly to water management and fuel celloperation. Regarding pin-type flow fields, the design uses several pins of various shapes arranged in arectangular or spherical configuration. The membrane can become dry as a result of over waterdischarge. Meanwhile, for straight and parallel configurations, such designs include many separateparallel flow channels that connect the inlet to the outlet. These designs are simple and require thelowest level of pressure drop by equally distributing gases into parallel paths. Some works havedesigned bipolar plate configurations that include multi-pass serpentine flow fields, which enhanceunder-rib convection, generate a more uniform gas distribution, and quickly remove water from underrib regions. A geometrical characterization shows that multi-pass serpentine flow fields strengthenunder-rib convection intensities and support more uniform conditions in terms of gas concentrations,temperatures, and pressure levels in comparison to conventional serpentine flow fields.
