The porous diffusion medium (DM) used in fuel cells has a complex heterogeneous structure in which both hydrophilic and hydrophobic pores coexist. The capillary flow in such a mixed-wet DM is mainly controlled by the capillary pressure and saturation relation (CPSR). In order to investigate the water transport characteristics in a passive direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), taking into account the coexistence of the hydrophilic and hydrophobic pores in the DM, we presented the mechanisms of capillary flow in the mixed-wet DM and provided a comprehensive evaluation of the CPSRs used in various existing fuel cell studies. Then, based on a two-dimensional, two-phase, nonisothermal model for the passive DMFC, we investigated the liquid transport phenomena through the mixed-wet DM by employing an experimentally measured mixed-wet CPSR. Moreover, we compared the water transport predicted by the mixed-wet CPSR and the uniform-wet Leverett CPSR for better understanding of the liquid water transport in passive DMFCs. The results show that water transport in the passive DMFC depends greatly on the CPSR of the DM, which demonstrates an urgent need for the accurate CPSRs of the DM used in fuel cells. It is also shown that the dependence of water transport on the CPSRs can be significantly influenced by the use of a hydrophobic air filter layer at the cathode.

A new type of direct 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) oxidation fuel cell based on a bifunctional PtNiSx/CB catalyst not only transformed chemical energy into electric energy but also converted HMF into value-added 2,5-furandicarboxylic (FDCA).

The purpose of the present paper was to evaluate the effect of constraining near-zero parameter cross-loadings to zero in the measurement component of a structural equation model. A Monte Carlo 3 × 5 × 2 simulation design was conducted (i.e., sample sizes of 200, 600, and 1,000; parameter cross-loadings of 0.07, 0.10, 0.13, 0.16, and 0.19 misspecified to be zero; and parameter path coefficients in the structural model of either 0.50 or 0.70). Results indicated that factor pattern coefficients and factor covariances were overestimated in measurement models when near-zero parameter cross-loadings constrained to zero were higher than 0.13 in the population. Moreover, the path coefficients between factors were misestimated when the near-zero parameter cross-loadings constrained to zero were noteworthy. Our results add to the literature detailing the importance of testing individual model specification decisions, and not simply evaluating omnibus model fit statistics.
