Introduction
The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) in a fuel cell sits between the catalyst and flow field, helping distribute reactant gases and remove water for efficient performance.

🧠 What It Means
Ensures hydrogen and oxygen flow evenly to the catalyst.
Manages water to prevent flooding in the cell.
Affects durability and efficiency of fuel cells.
❗ Key Challenges
Needs precise porosity for balance between gas flow and water removal.
Expensive to manufacture high-performance GDLs.
Degradation over time reduces fuel cell life.
🦁 Muzaffar’s Comment
“The GDL might look simple, but it’s a critical component for fuel cells to breathe and work properly.”
🦉 Sameer’s Comment
“It’s like the lungs of the fuel cell—managing airflow and moisture perfectly.”
