Performance Prediction of Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layer with GeoDict

A Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) is a critical component in fuel cells made of a porous material, such as carbon fiber. The GDL sits between the catalyst layer and the bipolar plates facilitating gas transport, conducting electrons, and helping in water management. Fuel cells with GDLs are common in applications like hydrogen-powered vehicles and portable power systems. The study aims to improve the microstructure of the fuel cell to improve  water management during operation.

In an interview with SCSK, Mr. Yuki Ota from Toyota Motor Corporation uses an example to explain how GeoDict can be used to predict the performance of the Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) in fuel cells.
