The dynamic response of proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is a crucial metric for evaluating these systems in vehicular applications. The forced convection effect can significantly enhance the dynamic response capabilities of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. In this study, we propose the application of the forced convection effect within a parallel flow field. This approach retains the advantages of low pressure drop at the inlets and outlets of the parallel flow field and facilitates rapid distribution of reaction gases, while simultaneously enhancing the dynamic response of actual PEMFC stacks without compromising drainage efficiency. we propose an innovative 3D wave channel design for PEMFC. Specifically, we design and assemble a stack optimized for performance. The proposed design is tested against the traditional 2D straight channel stack, with the 3D wave channel stack demonstrating an increase in peak power density by 8.05% to 33.92% across a relative humidity range of 20% to 100%. This novel design outperforms the 2D straight channel design in terms of gas distribution uniformity, and enhancedmass transfer to the diffusion layer, as well as reduction of concentration polarization in the PEMFC. It also enhances self-humidification under low humidity conditions. Most importantly, the 3D wave channel stack exhibits a superior dynamic response, with voltage fluctuations after current loading being 74.36% to 91.15% lower than those of the 2D straight channel stack. Furthermore, the 3D wave channel stack maintains superior voltage stability under starvation conditions. The findings from this study contribute significantly to optimizing the dynamic response capability of PEMFC systems, highlighting the potential of the 3D wave channel design in enhancing PEMFC performance.
