Micropatterns applied to proton exchange membranes can improve the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells; however, the mechanism underlying this improvement is yet to be clarified. In this study, a patterned membrane electrode assembly (MEA) was compared with a flat one using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and distribution of relaxation time analysis. The micropattern positively affects the oxygen reduction reaction by increasing the reaction area. However, simultaneously, the pattern negatively affects the gas diffusion because it lengthens the average oxygen transport path through the catalyst layer. In addition, the patterned MEA is more vulnerable to flooding, but performs better than the flat MEA in low-humidity conditions. Therefore, the composition, geometry, and operating conditions of the micropatterned MEA should be comprehensively optimized to achieve optimal performance..

The volume expansion of anode active materials in all-solid-state lithium-ion batteries strongly affects the dynamic change in the electrode structure and its activity in electrochemical reactions and mass transport. Thus, understanding the mechanisms and internal phenomena during the charging process with volume expansion is important. In addition, clarifying these phenomena contributes to the selection of the active material when creating the electrode structure. This study aimed to verify the effect of volume expansion of the active material in a porous electrode layer on the charging performance using a numerical simulation. In this calculation, for the electrochemical reaction transport analysis, equations were applied based on the porous electrode theory; for the structural deformation due to expansion, we expressed the change by controlling the structural parameters and built a model for simulation. From the simulation results, when the fastening pressure was small, the active material with a large volume expansion ratio exhibited a larger capacity. However, for a large fastening pressure, active materials with a large volume expansion ratio seemed not to be used. Although the volume expansion of the active material should be suppressed from the viewpoint of ion conduction network rupture, these results demonstrate that the influence of volume expansion effectively depends on the electrode creation conditions. This model will help to optimize the design of all-solid-state batteries and can be the key to further performance improvement..

Thus, ASSBs are expected to be commercialized soon for use in electric vehicles. However, because the electrode active material (AM) and solid electrolyte (SE) of ASSBs are both solid particles, the contact between the particles strongly affects the battery characteristics, yet the correlation between the electrode structure and the stress at the contact surface between the solids remains unknown. Therefore, we used the results of numerical simulations as a dataset to build a machine learning model to predict the battery performance of ASSBs. Specifically, the discrete element method (DEM) was used for the numerical simulations. In these simulations, AM and SE particles were used to fill a model of the electrode, and force was applied from one direction. Thus, the stress between the particles was calculated with respect to time. Using the simulations, we obtained a sufficient data set to build a machine learning model to predict the distribution of interparticle stress, which is difficult to measure experimentally. Promisingly, the stress distribution predicted by the constructed machine learning model showed good agreement with the stress distribution calculated by DEM..

In this study, using theoretical equations, we confirmed that the shortened proton conduction path in the ionomer layer (IL) with a 3D-patterned structure, compared to that in the IL with a flat-patterned structure, can improve the cell performance. We experimentally investigated the effect of the IL with a 3D-patterned structure included in the CCLs on the cell performance. Based on the combination of the flat-or 3D-pattern of the IL and the catalyst layer (CL), the samples were categorized as Str. 1 (3D-patterned CL without IL), Str. 2 (flat-patterned IL and CL), Str. 3 (3D-patterned IL and flat-patterned CL), and Str. 4 (3D-patterned IL and CL). All of the samples had different morphologies. According to the I–V curves and impedance spectra data acquired at 80 °C and 40% relative humidity, Str. 4 showed superior cell performance relative to those of the other CCLs. These results indicate that the structure of Str. 4 enhanced the proton conductivity at a low humidity at which proton conduction is usually poor, thereby resulting in improved cell performance..

The structure of the cathode catalyst layer (CCL) is critically important for improving the performance, durability, and stability of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). In this study, we designed CCLs with a three-dimensional (3D) structure that could increase the surface area of the CCLs to decrease their oxygen transfer resistance. The CCLs were fabricated using an inkjet printing method, and the electrochemical performance of the CCLs in a membrane electrode assembly was evaluated using an actual cell. The results showed that at high Pt loadings, the performance of the CCL with the 3D structure was superior to that of the flat structure. In particular, at a high current density, which is related to mass transport resistance, the two structures exhibited a significant difference in performance. At a Pt loading of 0.3 mg/cm2, the CCL with the 3D structure showed the highest maximum power density among all the CCLs investigated in this study. This indicates that the 3D structure decreases the oxygen transfer resistance of the CCL. Overall, the 3D structure provided improved morphological and microstructural characteristics to the CCL for fuel cell applications..

Porous carbons such as Ketjen black (KB) have been widely used as a support for Pt catalysts in PEFCs. Such KB-supported Pt catalyst (Pt/KB) was used as a cathode CL with low ionomer content (a condition of low proton conductivity). The Pt/KB was then coated with SiO2. In addition, the Pt/KB and SiO2-coated Pt/KB (SiO2-Pt/KB) were measured and analyzed under relative humidity (RH) conditions (100% and 20%). The catalyst ink of SiO2-Pt/KB showed higher stability and dispersion compared to Pt/KB, due to the hydrophilic surface characteristics of SiO2, which act as a binder-like ionomer. The performance of the SiO2-Pt/KB at 100% RH, was significantly lower than that of Pt/KB, whereas the performance of the Pt/KB at 20% RH, was significantly improved by SiO2 coating. This is due to an increase in the proton conductivity, which can be attributed to the hydrophilic properties of SiO2. Based on these results, the effect of SiO2 coating on performance, depending on carbon supports of SiO2-coated Pt/Carbon catalysts, could be evaluated..

In this study, we have investigated the effects of thickness of ionomer thin films on proton diffusivity using molecular dynamics simulations. We have obtained self-diffusion coefficient of protons, maximum cluster lengths corresponding to connectivity of water clusters, and water density distributions at different ionomer thickness. As a result, we found that at high water contents, proton diffusion coefficients have a little relationship with ionomer thickness, whereas at low water contents, proton diffusion coefficients show a peak with the ionomer thickness of around seven nm. The maximum cluster lengths show the similar trends as the proton diffusion coefficient..

Tomohiro Ohnishi, Magnus So, Sakae Takenaka, Yoshifumi Tsuge, Gen Inoue, Performance of carbon-supported pt nanoparticles covered by silica layers with low ionomer in polymer electrolyte fuel cells, Symposium on Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers 18, PEFC and E 2018 - AiMES 2018, ECS and SMEQ Joint International Meeting ECS Transactions, 10.1149/08613.0453ecst, 453-460, 2018.01, Catalyst layers (CLs) are designed using a specific ionomer in accordance with the required mass transport. Although the ionomer is needed as the protonic conductor, an excess addition prevents oxygen diffusion. This work investigates the effect of using a SiO2 coating and a low amount of ionomer on the performance of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The application of a SiO2 coating to the catalyst surface is expected to change its surface characteristics and enhance the dispersion of the catalyst in the ink. In terms of their particle distribution, catalysts coated with SiOj maintain a higher dispersivity than commercial Pt/C with a low amount of ionomer. The structure of the CLs was investigated by examining the effects of various amounts of ionomer in the presence and absence of Si02 coating by studying the cross-sectional morphology of the CLs with focused ion beam-scanning electron microscopy (FIB-SEM)..

However, these catalysts have been developed by trial-and-error methods and the correlation between catalyst nature and output performance is still not clear. Our goal is to reduce the catalyst cost by analyzing the key factors affecting the output performance in catalyst layers (CLs). In our previous studies, a method for reaction and mass transport simulation in the through-plane directionwas established. Additionally, electrochemical reactions and radial mass transport phenomena in the catalyst with primary particle size were simulated in this study. The results suggest that the characteristics of Pt particles such as diameter and bearing position mainly affect the output performance at high voltages (0.7-0.9 V). Furthermore, the rate-determining step for the catalyst with primary particle size was the oxygen diffusion step in the ionomer..

However, its power density is too low to be applied for EV. In recent years, 3-dimensional electrode such as an interdigitated electrode is proposed, which can increase both energy density and power density. In this study, electrochemical reactions and mass transport phenomena of 3D all-solid-state battery were simulated with a porous electrode theory. Discharge property was improved by complicating 3D structures and Str. 2 displayed excellent discharge property at a rate of 1 to 10C and a solid electrolytes ionic conductivity of 0.01 to 1 S/m. Furthermore, the structure of which diffusion length is shorter than 36.57 μm can realize the full charge within 6 minutes at more than 1 S/m, and the diffusion length within 8 μm is necessary at 0.01 S/m to 1 S/m..
