From this Article:
Carbon Paper Gas Diffusion Layers (GDL) (e.g. Sigracet, Freudenberg, Toray, etc) tend to be thinner and more brittle than Carbon Cloth Gas Diffusion Layers (e.g. ELATâ ¢, GDL-CT). Â Each type has a...
(Alternative Power Generation)
From this Article:
The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) plays several critical roles in a typical fuel cell application and is often integrated as part of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA). Typical applications that use...

From this Article:
We occasionally get questions from people wanting to know if they can use a Metal Hydride (MH) to purify the Hydrogen from an HHO generator, so I thought I would post our response here:...
(Alternative Power Generation)
From this Article:
There are a number of different Hydrogen storage options available. The one which is best for you depends on what is most important for your application:...

From this Article:
So, you have bought a Fuel Cell and are ready to start using it.
Or are you?
Did you plan on any of the ancillary components you might need? Depending on who you buy the fuel cell from and what model...
(Alternative Power Generation)
From this Article:
After the original manufacturer of ELAT Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) stopped producing the material, many of the fuel cell industry had to scramble for replacements and were continuing their projects...

From this Article:
We've spoken already about Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) selection for a Fuel Cell; today we will cover some GDL considerations for Electrolyzers.
The Hydrogen side (Cathode) of an Electrolyzer (EZ) can...

From this Article:
Nafion membranes come in many different thickness and types. How do you know which to choose when designing an electrolyzer (hydrogen generator)?...
(Alternative Power Generation)
From this Article:
The root of all of this is that Nafion membranes must stay hydrated to function properly. If they are not fully humidified the conductivity decreases and therefore more of the electricity is converted...
(Electrical and Electronic Test Equipment)
From this Article:
Knowing what's happening inside a fuel cell is a critical function, especially as fuel cells are continuing to be developed. One important aspect of this is to measure the voltage of each cell in a...

From this Article:
There are a lot of design considerations that go into an electrolyzer that will dictate what pressure they can operate at, their efficiency, safety, etc. Today I will let you worry about all the...
