The gas diffusion layer is a key element of the membrane electrode assembly. Gas diffusion layer is basically an electrically and thermally conductive porous layer that stands between the catalyst layer and the flow field plate in the cell. Hydrogen and oxygen diffuse through the gas diffusion layer to the catalyst layer at the anode and cathode respectively, for the electrochemical reactions to take place. Various types of hydrogen fuel cell gas diffusion layer are carbon paper gas diffusion layers and carbon cloth gas diffusion layers. Carbon paper gas diffusion layers tend to be narrow and fragile as compared to carbon cloth gas diffusion layers. Carbon cloth gas diffusion layers are the more flexible and are usually quite mechanically robust, but are also the thickest. Gas diffusion layer plays a key part that identifies performance of hydrogen fuel cell.
 
Moreover, hydrogen fuel cells are similar to batteries in that they produce electricity without emission or combustion. Compared to conventional gasoline vehicles, fuel cell vehicles can even decrease carbon dioxide by up to half if the hydrogen is manufactured by natural gas and by 90%, if the hydrogen is manufactured by renewable energy, such as wind and solar. Hydrogen fuel cells are efficient, clean, reliable and quite source of power. Apart from this, hydrogen fuel cell is majorly used in stationary power generation, portable power, niche markets, and transportation. As hydrogen is high in energy and produces almost zero pollution, it is used as fuel to drive space shuttle as well as rockets into orbit. It provides DC voltage that can be used to power motors and run any number of electrical appliances. Some of the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells are it operate silently, a lot more efficient, and has longer operating time. Hydrogen fuel cells are largely used in numerous applications, thereby driving the demand for hydrogen fuel cell gas diffusion layer market. The demand for hydrogen fuel cells is rising due to the increasing government initiatives to reduce carbon emission, and leads to the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell gas diffusion layer market.
