Abstract :
In the present study the influence of the hydrophobic material (Teflon, polytetrafluoroethylene) content in the gas diffusion electrodes (anode and cathode) on the performance of a H2/O2 proton exchange membrane fuel cell is reported. The potential–current (E–I) evaluation of the fuel cell indicated that a combination of 10 and 30 wt% of Teflon, respectively, in the cathode and anode gave the best results.
