  title = {Understanding Impacts of Catalyst-Layer Thickness on Fuel-Cell Performance via Mathematical Modeling},
  abstract = {In this article, a two-dimensional, multiphase, transient model is introduced and used to explore the impact of catalyst-layer thickness on performance. In particular, the tradeoffs between water production and removal through transport or evaporation are highlighted, with a focus on low-temperature performance. For the latter, a case study of an ultra-thin catalyst layer is undergone to explore how various material properties alter the steady-state and startup performance of a cell. The findings provide understanding and guidance to optimize fuel-cell performance with thin electrodes.},
