It allows, in contrast to all other known techniques, for the first time for a resolution smaller than the channel/rib scale of the flow field in PEFCs. The current density is obtained by considering the electron conductors in the cell as a two-dimensional resistor with the voltage drop caused by the current. The method was applied to a cell operated on oxygen up to high current densities. The results show that the ohmic resistances govern the current distribution in the low current regime, whereas mass transport limitations hamper the current production under the land at high loads."}],"date_created":"2020-01-15T12:23:22Z","issue":"9","doi":"10.1016/j.elecom.2006.05.032","volume":8,"date_published":"2006-09-01T00:00:00Z","page":"1435-1438","publication":"Electrochemistry Communications","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"day":"01","year":"2006","publication_status":"published","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1388-2481"]}},{"oa_version":"None","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PE fuel cells) working with air at low stoichiometries (<2.0) and standard electrochemical components show a high degree of inhomogeneity in the current density distribution over the active area. An inhomogeneous current density distribution leads to a non-uniform utilization of the active area, which could negatively affect the time of life of the cells. Furthermore, it is also believed to lower cell performance. In this work, the homogenization of the current density, realized by means of tailored cathodes with along-the-air-channel redistributed catalyst loadings, is investigated. The air stoichiometry range for which a homogenization of the current density is achieved depends upon the gradient with which the catalyst is redistributed along the air channel. A gentle increasing catalyst loading profile homogenizes the current density at relatively higher air stoichiometries, while a steeper profile is suited better for lower air stoichiometries. The results show that a homogenization of the current density by means of redistributed catalyst loading has negative effects on cell performance. Model calculations corroborate the experimental findings on homogenization of the current density and deliver an explanation for the decrease in cell performance."}],"month":"07","intvolume":" 51","quality_controlled":"1","publisher":"Elsevier","day":"01","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Electrochimica Acta","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0013-4686"]},"publication_status":"published","year":"2006","date_published":"2006-07-01T00:00:00Z","volume":51,"doi":"10.1016/j.electacta.2006.02.008","issue":"25","date_created":"2020-01-15T12:23:34Z","page":"5383-5393","_id":"7330","status":"public","type":"journal_article","article_type":"original","extern":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","date_updated":"2021-01-12T08:13:07Z","citation":{"ieee":"M.

Thus, a two-dimensional slice running through the repetitive unit of a cell from the anode channel via membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) and cathode channel to the coolant channel and from inlet to outlet is modeled. The aim of the work is to elucidate the influence of operating conditions such as feed gas humidities and stoichiometric ratios on the along-the-channel current density distribution and to identify the distinct underlying voltage loss mechanisms.
