A comprehensive review of primary cooling techniques and thermal management strategies for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells PEMFC.
Review in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Enhancing the endurance and efficiency of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) requires efficient thermal management. This comprehensive review examines the primary cooling techniques employed in PEMFC systems, concentrating on techniques for air and liquid cooling. Liquid cooling, which circulates a coolant through channels adjacent to the ability of the fuel cell stack to maintain ideal operating temperatures, is highlighted and significantly reduces temperature variations, thereby improving overall efficiency and lifespan. In contrast, air cooling, while simpler and more cost-effective, is less effective in high-power applications due to its reliance on ambient air for heat dissipation. The review also discusses advancements in thermal management strategies, including innovative designs for heat exchangers and the integration of thermal resistance networks, which enhance heat dissipation efficiency. Furthermore, the paper underscores the importance of developing durable materials to address catalyst and membrane degradation, and it explores the potential for integrating PEMFCs using renewable energy sources to encourage environmentally friendly transportation solutions. By identifying current challenges and proposing future research directions, this review aims to support the continuous creation of effective and reliable PEMFC technologies.
