摘要
Appropriate water management in proton exchange membrane (PEM) is essential to achieve a high cell performance over a wide range of operating conditions. The content and uneven distribution of water causes the decrease of the fuel cell performance. Limitations related to the experimental conditions and techniques have motivated researchers to conduct computational mode-ling and simulation to better understand the behavior and distribution of water inside the cell. This paper reviews the working mechanism of PEM fuel cell, and the different mathematical models from one-dimensional model to three-dimensional models are employed. In addition, the focus of the study, the qualifications and main outcome of each research work are discussed. Moreover, the direction of the future simulations in water management is put forward. The model is conducive to the study of PEM fuel cell, which will provide the theoretical basis for the optimal design of fuel cell. © 2017, Materials Review Magazine. All right reserved.
