Reference Electrode Positioning in PEM Fuel Cell at a Parabolic Anode Tip

Abstract: Two‐dimensional (2D) distribution of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell cathode overpotential η in the vicinity of parabolic anode tip is described by nonlinear Poisson–Boltzmann equation. The 2d shape of η is calculated numerically for the anode tip curvature varying by two orders of magnitude. It is shown that the reference electrode for measuring cathode overpotential can be located at a distance on the order of two characteristic lengths from the anode tip. For typical PEM fuel cell parameters, this distance is about 5.5 cm. A compact design for the reference electrode positioning is suggested.
