The PEMFC performance is evaluated according to the cathode flow field type and GDL configurations via polarization, AC-impedance spectroscopy, and 4-point probe measurements for the bulk resistance. The improvement in the polarization when using the MPL on the metal mesh is discussed in terms of the water management and electrical resistance at the cathode.
