The Fuel Cell & Electrolyzer Module is an add-on to the COMSOL Multiphysics® software for gaining a deeper understanding of fuel cell and electrolyzer systems, which is useful for designing and optimizing the electrochemical cells. The types of systems that may be studied include proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), hydroxide exchange (alkaline) fuel cells (AFCs), and solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), as well as the corresponding water electrolyzer systems. The module accommodates all types of fuel cells and electrolyzers.
As with every product in the COMSOL product suite, multiphysics capabilities are built into the software for including multiphase fluid flow, heat transfer, thermodynamics properties, and more.
