Research Summary
A gas diffusion layer (GDL) is a crucial component in various electrochemical devices, such as fuel cells and electrolyzers. It serves as a porous and conductive medium that facilitates the transport of reactants, such as gases, and helps manage the distribution of water and heat within the device. In fuel cells, for example, the gas diffusion layer typically consists of a carbon-based material with a porous structure. This structure allows reactant gases, like hydrogen and oxygen, to diffuse through the GDL to reach the catalyst layer, where electrochemical reactions occur. The GDL also assists in water management by wicking away excess water produced during the reaction. The choice of materials and design of the gas diffusion layer are critical factors influencing the overall performance and efficiency of electrochemical devices, impacting their ability to generate electricity or produce hydrogen through electrolysis.
