Abstract

Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have garnered significant attention due to their high efficiency and low emissions. However, PEMFC always suffers mass transfer and water management in performance improvement. Herein, an integrated gas diffusion layer (GDL) with wavy channel and micro‐tunneled rib is designed and prepared to achieve faster and gentler mass transfer and excellent water management capability by laser engraving. Outstandingly, the new integrated GDL can use the back pressure of air as low as 0 and 50 kPa to respectively achieve 80% and 90% of fuel cell performance realized under pure oxygen. Such high performance is mainly due to the turbulent flow caused by wavy channel and express removing pathway of liquid water provided by micro‐tunneled rib. Moreover, the new integrated GDL also shows wide humidity tolerance from 40% to 100% and a very high specific volume power density of 16,300 W L−1 due to the thin thickness of new integrated GDL. This new integrated GDL is expected to be widely used in PEMFC and other energy conversion devices.

Abstract

Gas diffusion layer is one of the most important components of fuel cell, which supports the catalytic layer, collects the current and facilitates mass transfer. However, current carbon paper is mainly composed of long carbon fibers (CF), which brings drawbacks including rough surface, poor body homogeneity, excessive thickness, and preparation difficulty, etc. In this research, we invent a combination method to produce a highly flat, highly homogeneous, ultra-thin and high-performance carbon paper for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The method combines the advantages of two materials, i.e. few-walled carbon nanotube (FWCNT) with high flatness and short CF with high porosity. And the combination method only contains three steps, material dispersion, carbon paper formation and heat treatment. The highest temperature for the heat treatment process is only 350 °C, which is much lower than the traditional 2000 °C. Due to the small size and fine distribution of FWCNT and CF, the new carbon paper exhibits highly flat (
