  • Patent number: 8263207
    Abstract: A gas diffusion layer, a manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The gas diffusion layer having different hydrophilic/hydrophobic structure and channel therein can be manufactured quickly and easily by using a coating mask. The gas diffusion layer is used in various fuel cells to enhance the ability of water management and to solve the problem of flooding at the cathode, the problem of water deficit at the anode, and the problem of gas transfer. The gas diffusion layer includes a gas diffusion medium having a first property and a micro porous layer having a second property. The micro porous layer is formed on one surface of the gas diffusion medium. The micro porous layer has a plurality of channel layers penetrating the gas diffusion medium. One of the first property and the second property is hydrophilic, and the other is hydrophobic.

  • Patent number: 7744070
    Abstract: An external gas humidifier for fuel cell transfers recycled high-temperature waste heat produced by the fuel cell to a reactant gas, such as hydrogen or air, which is guided into the external gas humidifier. The heated reactant gas is treated in the external gas humidifier to effectively increase the moisture content of the reactant gas within a shortened time. When the humidified reactant gas enters into the fuel cell, it enables a polymeric membrane in the fuel cell to be well humidified to thereby enhance the power generation efficiency and service life of the fuel cell.

  • Publication number: 20030099575
    Abstract: A method for preparing tungsten trioxide precursor and a hydrogen sulfide gas sensor made thereof. The method includes dissolving a soluble tungsten compound in a solvent to form a solution; and adding thickener to the solution to adjust the viscosity thereof. In the above method, the viscosity of the produced tungsten trioxide precursor is adjusted so that it can be coated onto a substrate by spin or screen coating. The substrate is then thermal processed to decompose the organic component to obtain tungsten trioxide. A conventional method is then applied to fabricate a hydrogen sulfide gas sensor.
