Tuning hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance of cathode catalyst layer to improve cell performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) by mixing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

The wettability, or hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance, of cathode catalyst layer influences the performance of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell. In this paper, cathode catalyst layer with different polytetrafluoroethylene contents are prepared, and the effect of hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance o...
