Abstract
The present disclosure provides a fuel cell, comprising: an anode; a cathode; and a membrane electrode assembly disposed between the anode and the cathode. The anode may comprise a gas diffusion layer with one or more channels for directing a source material through the gas diffusion layer of the anode to facilitate processing of the source material to generate an electrical current. The one or more channels may comprise one or more features configured to enhance a diffusion of the source material through the gas diffusion layer of the anode. The source material may comprise hydrogen and nitrogen.
Claims28
A fuel cell, comprising:
- an anode;
- a cathode;
- and
- a membrane between the anode and the cathode,
- wherein the anode comprises an anode gas diffusion layer with one or more channels for directing a source material comprising hydrogen and nitrogen to the anode for processing of the source material to generate an electrical current,
- wherein the one or more channels comprise two or more features comprising (i) one or more cuts or (ii) one or more cutouts configured to enhance diffusion and transport of the source material through the anode gas diffusion layer, and
- wherein the two or more features are configured to direct a flow of nitrogen from the anode gas diffusion layer out of the fuel cell so that nitrogen does not accumulate in the anode gas diffusion layer.
