| Abstract | In order to improve the power generation performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC), it is necessary to maintain high current density over the whole area of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) that includes the additional Pt-carbon particles loaded on the Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) as an electrocatalyst layer. However, the current density generated at the MEA is distributed unevenly due to a lack of hydrogen, flooding, and so on. Therefore, achieving a higher current density in a PEFC requires monitoring the local current density. The local current density in a PEFC can be measured by the frequency shift of the NMR signal received from planar surface coils inserted into the PEFC as sensors. This method is based on the relationship that the spatial gradient of the frequency shifts in NMR signals along the MEA is proportional to the magnetic field strength induced by local current density. In this study, two kinds of MEA were used. One MEA was with the platinum catalyst applied to an area of 50 mm * 50 mm. The other MEA was with platinum catalyst over half this area. The distributions of the frequency shift of NMR signals in PEFCs using these two MEAs were measured. These measured distributions of the spatial gradients were in agreement with those obtained by the theoretical-analysis of magnetic fields in PEFC. The spatial distributions of current density generated in PEFCs were obtained from the spatial gradients and theoretical result. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
