dc.description.abstractA localized non-intuitive relationship between electrical interface contact resistance and bulk properties such as bulk electrical resistance and permeability in the fuel cell gas diffusion layer (GDL) is reported. A numerical method is adopted to investigate contact pressure and hence the interface contact resistance at the interfaces of bipolar plate (BPP)|GDL and GDL|Polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM). The results are observed to be sensitive to GDL material models as well as endplate designs. This means, endplates designed to improve the electrical contact resistance or contact pressure at the BPP|GDL interface may not necessarily assure an improvement in bulk properties, in fact, it is observed in this study that these properties are inversely related. Further, a differential deformation in GDL along with consolidation effect is predicted with compressible version of hyperelastic material model. More importantly, it is revealed that the selection of material models plays a significant role in the deformation behaviour of the GDLs irrespective of the clamping design adopted. © 2021 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLCen_US
