Fractal Modeling of Gas Transport in Gas Diffusion Layers (GDLs) for Enhanced Electrochemical Performance of PEMFCs

Enonsi Augustin Leode, Gabin Koto N’Gobi, Clément Kouchade, Basile Kounouhewa

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are among the most promising technologies for advancing the energy transition, particularly in clean transportation and decentralised power generation. However, improving their performance requires a detailed understanding of mass-transport processes within gas diffusion layers (GDLs), which …

Impact of Tortuosity on Species Transport in PEMFCs Gas Diffusion Layers

Enonsi Augustin Leode, Gabin Koto N’Gobi, Bienvenu Glinma, Finagnon H. AGNIMONHAN et autres

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are electrochemical systems that directly convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into electricity, offering high energy efficiency and low environmental impact. Within these systems, the gas diffusion layer (GDL) plays a critical role in ensuring efficient …

Comparative Physicochemical Study of Shellfish-Derived Chitosan from Southern Benin and Commercial Chitosan for PEM Fuel Cell Applications

Augustin Enonsi Léodé, Bienvenu Glinma, Gabin Koto N’Gobi, Finagnon H. AGNIMONHAN et autres

Biopolymers, particularly chitosan derived from chitin, are attracting growing interest due to their versatility and environmental benefits. One notable application is the development of proton exchange membranes (PEM) for fuel cells, which offer a cleaner and more sustainable energy solution. This study …

Effects of Damp-heat on Shunt, Series Resistances and Fill Factor into Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Solar Modules in Tropical Zone

Minadohona Maxime Capo-Chichi, Vianou Irénée Madogni, Clément Kouchade, Géraud Florentin Hounkpatin et autres

Most solar module manufacturers guarantee the minimum performance of their modules for 20 to 25 years. But some time after their installation, one observes faults which appear on the various components of these modules. During long-term exposure to severe climatic conditions, these …
