Ex-situ visualization of the wet domain in the microporous layer in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell by X-ray computed tomography under water vapor supply

The wet domain in a microporous layer (MPL) in a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) was visualized in order to clarify water accumulation in the MPL. The performance of PEFC is affected by accumulation of liquid water in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL). The liquid water hinders oxygen transp...
