Lateral Bypass Flow Fields for High-Performance, Flood-Free Hydrogen Fuel Cells
This webinar explores a novel fuel cell design that overcomes key limitations in low-platinum hydrogen fuel cells, particularly poor gas diffusion and water buildup under practical operating conditions. By introducing a lateral bypass flow field, the design significantly improves oxygen delivery and water management, leading to much higher performance by suppressing water concentration mass transport losses. The webinar will also highlight how this approach supports both low-platinum and platinum-free catalysts for more cost-effective hydrogen technologies.
