- Air breathing PEM fuel cells eliminate the need of an oxygen supply infrastructure; important in portable lightweight systems. A novel extension of modelling capabilities of them is described, by considering all heat sources, chemical, electrical, and water phase change. It is validated against independent data, and optimal operating conditions of temperature and humidity are thus investigated. It led to an international collaboration funded by the Royal Society (IEC\R3\170032) with Kyushu University (contact: Associate Professor at Kyushu University, Japan), then to a series of Sheffield-Kyushu Electrochemical Energy Conversion workshops, and our participation in Kyushu University Energy Week 2019.
