A Novel Design of Wave-Like PEMFC Stack with Undulate MEAs and Perforated Bipolar Plates

Fuel cells are being pursued for a wide variety of applications due to their high theoretical efficiency and environmental friendliness [1, 2]. In particular, proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), because of the advantages of low temperature operation, fast start-up, system robustness and low emissions, are attractive for automotive and portable applications [3]. However, commercialisat...

Performance Improvement of WaveLike PEMFC Stack with Compound Membrane Electrode Assembly

The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology has drawn considerable attention during past two decades and has potential for automotive applications due to high energy density and low impact on environments [1, 2]. Nevertheless, commercialization of fuel cell vehicles still depends on achieving higher volumetric power density and specific power in order to compete with traditionally...

Experimental Investigation into a Novel Modular PEMFC Fuel Cell Stack

The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), despite being regarded as an ideal replacement to the internal combustion engine, is still not an economically attractive prime-mover due to a number of key challenges that have yet to be fully resolved; such as degradation to cell components resulting in inadequate lifetimes, specialised manufacturing processes and poor gravimetric/volumetric...

Experimental evaluation into novel, low cost, modular PEMFC stack

The Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC), despite being regarded as an ideal replacement to the internal combustion engine, is still not an economically attractive pri-mover due to a number of key challenges that have yet to be fully resolved; some of which include degradation to cell components resulting in inadequate lifetimes, specialised and costly manufacturing processes and poor...
