Abstract: In computational models of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs), thermal and electrical resistances between the different contacting material layers are commonly disregarded. Various experimental conductivity measurements have shown, though, that they can have a significant share in the overall through-plane resistance. Here, experimentally measured contact resistances between different MEA layers are implemented into a one-dimensional stationary two-phase PEFC model to demonstrate the importance of taking these effects into account in PEFC simulations that aim to be quantitatively predictive.
