A Transient Model for Fuel Cell Cathode-Water Propagation Behavior inside a Cathode after a Step Potential

Most of the voltage losses of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are due to the sluggish kinetics of oxygen reduction on the cathode and the low oxygen diffusion rate inside the flooded cathode. To simulate the transient flooding in the cathode of a PEMFC, a transient model was developed. T...
