dc.description.abstractThe aim of this research is to develop and evaluate materials for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Gas diffusion layer (GDL) is a part of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) that is the locomotive of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). In this work, a PEMFC is built to study the MEA’s behavior during operation. New gas diffusion layer structures are manufactured and their characterizations are done by compression-resistance test. The strength and resistance values of the new materials are comparable to those of the commercial materials testeden_US
