Global Gas Diffusion Layer Market Growth 2023-2029

The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) , is the main part of a fuel cell. It is usually made of carbon fiber woven paper or carbon fiber non-woven paper. It is generally believed that the gas diffusion layer can be divided into a substrate layer (support layer) and a microporous layer. The ideal gas diffusion layer electrode structure, on the one hand, must have good gas permeability, in order to meet the electrode maximum power work gas reactant supply, on the other hand, must have good porous system, and it could form enough three phase interfaces to increase the Gas diffusion electrode's ability to convert chemical energy into electrical energy.
