Performance of hybrid Al2O3:SiO2 W:EG in PEM fuel cell distributor plate

Efficient thermal management is essential for the optimal performance and durability of the Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). However, the conventional passive cooling methods require a larger heat exchanger for better heat dissipation. Alternatively, nanofluids as a coolant have gained at...
