The catalyst layers of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell consist of Nafion®, carbon particles and platinum particles. Nafion® is used to improve the catalyst layer performance. The increase of Nafion® content in the catalyst layer improves proton migration but reduces void spaces. Increasing platinum loading enhances the rate of the electrochemical reaction but increase the cost. In this paper, we have investigated the correlation of Nafion® content by a constant platinum loading of 1mg/cm2 in the catalyst layer. This has been performed by using a single home-made PEM fuel cell. Optimum performance of PEMFC has been obtained for 0.25mg/cm2 Nafion® content..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
