Abstract
To clarify the behavior of liquid water in polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC), X-ray computed tomography (XTM) is used. In the past, 3D visualization experiments of liquid water in substrate layer and microporous layer (MPL) were conducted. However, 3D visualization of liquid water in catalyst layer (CL) has not been conducted yet. It is important to clarify liquid water in CL because water is generated in CL. We improved two things. First, we used the CL with low platinum percentage because its X-ray absorption coefficient is low. Second, 20.5-hour CT scan was conducted to improve spatial resolution. Therefore, we succeeded the detection of liquid water in CL.
