Flooding affects reactant distributions; hence, effective water management is necessary for optimizing the performance of PEMFCs. The present study, investigated the performance of PEMFCs by introducing a novel semicircular trap shape in the flow field, and assessed the effect of increasing the number of traps and the size of the trap shape. The introduction of the trap shape in the flow field, reduces the land width at the location of the bipolar plate. This reduced land width increases the current density per unit of active area. Therefore, figuring out the perfect size and quantity of traps is essential to improving PEMFC efficacy. The results show that a channel with a single trap shape of 2.0 mm width and 1.0 mm height provide higher current density. The trap shapes improve reactant distribution, effective water management and enhance the power density. This novel trap shape can be implemented in a conventional channel providing an inexpensive solution to enhance PEMFC performance.</p>","PeriodicalId":760,"journal":{"name":"Russian Journal of Electrochemistry","volume":"60 Based","pages":"1007 - 1019"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145121404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

J. Electrochem., 2022, vol. 58, p. 1103) is based on the comparing of a measured non-stationary current across the electrode/membrane/electrolyte solution system upon applying a potential step with theoretical expressions for the time dependence of the current, the steady-state regime being included. In previous publications, the application of this method to the studies of the bromide anion transport across membrane is carried out under conditions of the membrane selective permeability (permselectivity) for non-electroactive counter-ions where the electrical field intensity inside it has been suppressed by their high concentration. Under this condition, the movement of electroactive co-ions (bromide anions), having a much lower concentration inside the membrane, takes place via the purely diffusion mechanism, for which analytical solutions have been available. When the concentrations of electroactive co-ions and supporting-electrolyte counter-ions inside the membrane are comparable, their transport is contributed by both diffusion and migration. In particular, such a situation takes place in a ternary system of monovalent ions where both ions of the supporting electrolyte M<sup>+</sup> and A<sup>–</sup>, as well as the electroactive anion X<sup>–</sup>, penetrate the membrane from the external solution, their concentrations inside the membrane appeared being <i>comparable</i>. In this work, we derived analytical expressions for the steady-state distributions of the concentrations of all ionic components, as well as of the electrical field, inside the membrane as a function of the amplitude of the passing stationary current and of the ion concentrations in the bulk solution, as well as for the diffusion–migration limiting current density. In particular, it is shown that at a low concentration of co-ions at the membrane/electrolyte solution interface [compared to the concentration of fixed charged groups of the membrane: <i>X</i><sub>m</sub> <span>( ll )</span> min (<i>C</i><sub>f</sub>, <i>M</i><sub>m</sub>)], the migration contribution into the flux of electroactive ions can be neglected. On this reason, the formulas derived in this work for the ternary electrolyte are reduced approximately to the corresponding expressions for the pure diffusional transport.
