Abstract

This article reviews the numerical modeling of coupled multiple physiochemical transport processes taking place inside proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The continuum-scale models are discussed in detail, together with the sub models related to transport processes in each component of PEMFC for closing the continuum-scale models, such as the agglomerate model for catalyst layers and the multiphase flow model for gas diffusion layers. The pore-scale modeling which can reveal the interactions between realistic structures and transport processes is also introduced. Specific topics in PEMFC modeling are also briefly reviewed, including cold start, degradation, multiscale simulation, machine learning and model validation.
