Transient non-isothermal model of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell
In this paper we present a one-dimensional transient model for the membrane electrode assembly of a polymer-electrolyte fuel cell. In earlier work e established a framework to describe the water balance in a steady-state, non-isothermal cathode model that explicitly included an agglomerate atalyst layer component. This paper extends that work in several directions, explicitly incorporating comp...
متن کاملDesign of ordered-catalyst layers for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell cathodes
In polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), because the reaction rate in the cathode is slower than that in the anode, the cathode catalyst layers require more catalyst loading than the anodes [1]. Much research has been focused on improving the catalytic activity in cathodes and simultaneously reducing the amount of Pt supported by carbon black, which is the most commonly used cathode...
متن کاملA Gerischer phase element in the impedance diagram of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell anode.
We study the isothermal hydrogen adsorption and reaction at the E-TEK electrode of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell with a Nafion 117 membrane by impedance spectroscopy at 30 degrees C. We find that the impedance diagram must include a Gerischer phase element. Constant phase elements are not sufficient to describe the experimental data. This means that an adsorption reaction takes place in combi...
متن کاملSynthesized Bimetallic Electrocatalyst for Oxygen Reduction Reaction in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
In the present study, a step by step process was applied to synthesize bimetallic electrocatalyst (Ru and Pt on VulcanXC-72R). This process can reduce the amount of platinum and increase the gas diffusion electrode (GDE) performance in the cathodic reaction of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Using the impregnation by hydrothermal synthesis method, a series of electrocatalysts ...
متن کاملCharacterizing Electrode-Level Oxygen Transport in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells
Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) are a promising technology for environmentally friendly automobiles, among other applications. However, performance losses due to oxygen transport hindrances in the PEFC’s cathode continue to be an issue in widespread commercialization. This dissertation focuses on the transport of oxygen through the thickness of the PEFC cathode, and the effect of the cat...
