Fuel Cell Components

Parts that make a fuel cell work, namely the membrane electrode assembly and the gas diffusion electrode. A technology belongs here when its cited article describes such a component. These parts sit inside the cell stack where fuel, air and the electrolyte meet, and they are the pieces that engineers change to make cells cheaper, longer lived or more powerful. A component is placed here by the cell part the cited article describes, not by the type of fuel cell that uses it.

Quote, Has Member: Gas Diffusion Electrode, Lead
Gas diffusion electrodes (GDE) are electrodes with a conjunction of a solid, liquid and gaseous interface, and an electrical conducting catalyst supporting an electrochemical reaction between the liquid and the gaseous phase.
