A review of the performance and analysis of proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode assemblies

▸ The performance of the CCMs method is approximately 18% better than that obtained by using GDEs. ▸ The performance of the self-fabricated membrane was similar to that of NRE212. ▸ The self-humidifying membrane operated over more than 300 h while it was supplied with dry hydrogen and oxygen. ▸ A matched 250 μm silicon gasket with different assembly torques of 5-30 Kgf cm can get similar performances.
