英文摘要： Under the urgent situation of energy and environment, a revolution of technologies of electric energy will come to the human public. As one of the most clean and efficient substitutes for the energy devices, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have still suffered from obstacles in issues of fabrication cost, cell performance and durability. Among the crucial factors that determine these issues of PEMFC, processes within electrode, i.e. mass transport, play important roles for the recognizing and optimizing the electrode structures. However, the complexity of traditional electrodes hampers the further study of these processes. To focus on the mass transport behaviors in electrode, this program will carried out the fabrication and characterization of a modeling electrode based on ultra-ordered rigid silicon nanoarrays. With the help of modern electrochemical methods and in-situ spectroscopy/microscopy measurement, the relationships between structural parameters and mass transport properties will be studied. Further, the physical models of mass transport in ordered structures will also be constructed by computational simulations with molecular dynamic methods and computational fluidic dynamic methods. We believe that these works will elucidate the intrinsic mechanism of mass transport within nanostructures of fuel cell electrodes, and may provide theoretical instructions for the design and fabrication of advanced fuel cell electrodes with reduced cost and enhanced performance and durability.
