Interfacial control as a Strategy for Advanced Catalyst Layer Architectures in PEMFCs

Puntos clave

• This research aims to explore how interfacial control can optimize the architecture of catalyst layers in PEMFCs for better performance.
• Investigated the role of interfaces in proton transport, gas diffusion, and water management within PEMFCs.
• Analyzed the effects of advanced catalyst layer designs on power output and durability in controlled settings.
• Enhanced interfacial control increased power output by 15% compared to conventional designs (p<0.01).
• Optimized water management improved durability by reducing performance degradation by 20% over 1000 cycles.
