An extensive hterature is devoted to the physics of water channels formation and to the mechanism of proton and water transport in membranes. In this section, we give a brief overview relevant to the analytical modelling of fuel cells. A detailed review of phenomenological membrane transport models is given in (Weber and Newman, 2007). Atomistic modelling and experiments on proton transport in membranes are reviewed in (Kreuer et al., 2004). Recent advances in mesoscopic membrane modelling are discussed in (Promislow and Wetton, 2009). The reader is referred to these works for a detailed discussion of the transport processes in polymer membranes.

The earliest models of fuel-cell catalyst layers are microscopic, single-pore models, because these models are amenable to analytic solutions. The original models were done for phosphoric-acid fuel cells. In these systems, the catalyst layer contains Teflon-coated pores for gas diffusion, with the rest of the electrode being flooded with the liquid electrolyte. The single-pore models, like all microscopic models, require a somewhat detailed microstructure of the layers. Hence, effective values for such parameters as diffusivity and conductivity are not used, since they involve averaging over the microstructure.

Attempts to support models of the catalytic activity and the operative mechanism with results of theoretical considerations have been reported for the oxygen reduction [iii] and hydrogen oxidation [iv]. Electrocatalytic electrodes are indispensable parts of fuel cells [v]. A great variety of electrocatalytic electrodes has been developed for analytical applications [vi]. See also electro catalysis, catalytic current, -> catalytic hydrogen evolution, catalymetry.
