The Role of Operating Temperature on Pore‐Scale Gas Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Electrolyzers
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this study, the effects of operating temperature on pore-scale gas bubble transport in a carbon-based anode porous transport layer (PTL) of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) electrolyzer is revealed using operando X-ray computed tomography (CT). Higher temperature operation (80 °C compared to 40 °C) led to a lower total gas bubble volume fraction in the PTL (0.25 to 0.17; 32% lower), which is attributed to improved water transport and gas removal. Higher temperatures led to fewer bubbles in the PTL (13% less at 80 °C compared to 40 °C) as well as a greater occurrence of smaller bubbles (35% increase in skewness of the bubble size distribution), and this behavior is attributed to faster rates of nucleation and bubble detachment from the electrode. The formation of gas slugs is also observed in the anode channels at 60 °C and 80 °C, which is attributed to the faster detachment and coalescence of bubbles from the PTL/flow field interface.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
