Performance Improvement of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell by a New Coupling Channel in Bipolar Plate

The geometric design of flow channels in bipolar plates is one of the critical features of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), as it determines the power output of the fuel cell and has a significant impact on its performance and durability. The function of the bipolar plate is to guide th...
