The impact of micro porous layer (MPL) with various thicknesses of polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) on heat and mass transfer characteristics, as well as power generation performance of Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC), is investigated. The in-plane temperature distribution on cathode separator back is also measured by thermocamera. It has been found that the power generation performance is improved by the addition of MPL, especially at higher current density condition irrespective of initial temperature of cell (Tini) and relative humidity condition. However, the improvement is not obvious when the thin PEM (Nafion NRE-211; thickness of 25 μm) is used. The increase in temperature from inlet to outlet without MPL is large compared to that with MPL when using thick PEM, while the difference between without MPL and with MPL is small when using thin PEM. It has been confirmed that the addition of MPL is effective for the improvement of power generation performance of single PEFC operated at higher temperatures than normal. However, the in-plane temperature distribution with MPL is not even.

In this study, the effect of the mesopores of Marimo nano carbon (MNC) on power generation performance for anode material of direct glucose fuel cell was investigated. Three types of MNC with different mesopore distributions were used for the catalyst support material, Pt was used as loaded metal. In the glucose fuel cell performance test, MNC having many pores of about 35 nm showed the highest maximum output density of 0.72 mW cm-2 at 5 wt% metal loading and 0.3 M Glucose aqueous solution. The pores of about 30 nm may promote ion diffusion and rapid mass transport of reactants and products. These results indicated that MNC was an effective material as anode material for direct glucose fuel cell.
