Simulate Fuel Cell Components with GeoDict
Image-Based Modeling and Microstructure Analysis for Fuel Cell Materials
GeoDict by Math2Market offers advanced tools for the digital analysis and simulation of fuel cell materials. With support for both imported 3D imaging data and virtual material generation, GeoDict allows engineers and researchers to investigate key transport and structural properties at the microstructural level.
The software is particularly effective in analyzing and optimizing components such as gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and microporous layers (MPLs), helping to improve fuel cell efficiency, durability, and overall performance.
Microstructure-Based Insights
Fuel cell performance is closely linked to the microstructure of its porous materials. GeoDict enables precise quantification of characteristics such as:
- Porosity and pore size distribution
- Tortuosity and anisotropy
- Compression effects
- Phase distribution
- Permeability and diffusion pathways
These insights support the development and optimization of materials that are used in various fuel cell technologies, including PEM fuel cells.
