With the advancement of the industry, the consumption of traditional gas continues to increase, so new alternative energy sources must be developed in order to be an important and practical value. Fuel cells have many advantages such as low energy. Energy sources such as coal, petroleum and natural resources are limited. Due to the replacement of traditional energy sources, the choice of fuel cells has high efficiency, clean exhaust and simple noise. A power generation device that converts hydrogen and oxygen through an electrochemical reaction to generate electricity is basically a reverse reaction of water electrolysis to convert its chemical energy into electricity. Take a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC for short) as an example, which is mainly composed of a Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) and two electrode plates. The thin-film electrode group is mainly composed of a proton exchange membrane, two catalyst layers, and two gas diffusion layers. The catalyst layers are respectively disposed on both sides of the proton exchange membrane, and the gas diffusion layers are respectively disposed on the outside of the catalyst layer. Two electrode plates are arranged on both sides of the thin-film electrode group. The surface of the electrode plate usually has a gas flow channel to convey the gases used for the reaction (such as hydrogen and oxygen). The gas flow channel can lead the gas to the thin film electricity.
