basic information
**Lecture 1: Purpose of the Presentation** In solid polymer fuel cells (PEFC), electricity is generated through the reaction of oxygen and hydrogen, resulting in the production of water. This generated water hinders the supply of oxygen necessary for power generation and contributes to the limitations of power density. On the other hand, a lack of liquid water due to drying can degrade ion conduction and lead to performance decline. Therefore, to enhance the performance or reduce the cost of PEFCs, it is crucial to control the liquid water to raise these limits. This presentation will explain the high performance and functionality of PEFCs achieved through a new method of controlling liquid water that has been developed so far. **Lecture 3: Purpose of the Presentation** Fuel cells are currently a hot topic, and the core component, the power generation element, has a simple structure that sandwiches a polymer film between gas diffusion layers. In this presentation, I will overview the manufacturing methods, required characteristics, and product examples of gas diffusion layers, and particularly explain in an easy-to-understand manner the unique treatments applied to these gas diffusion layers, including their processes and functions.
