MEA Degradation and Failure Modes in PEM Fuel Cells
The mechanisms of fuel cell degradation are not well understood. Even though the numbers of installed units around the world continue to increase and dominate the pre-markets, the present lifetime requirements for fuel cells cannot be guarantee, creating the need for a more comprehensive knowledge of material’s ageing mechanism. In this work, failure modes and mechanism of the membrane-electrod...
متن کاملTemperature control of open-cathode PEM fuel cells
Proper temperature control of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells is a crucial factor for optimizing fuel cell performance. This paper describes a model-based characterization of the equilibrium points of an open-cathode fuel cell system. Phase plane analysis of the nonlinear model versus a linearized model around different points of operation shows the potential of approximating the nonlinear ...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement by Temperature Control of an Open-cathode Pem Fuel Cell System
The work presented in this article combines experimental analysis and theoretical studies of temperature effects on the performance of an open-cathode, self-humidified PEM fuel cell system for the design of optimal control strategies. The experimental analysis shows the great potential of improving the system performance by proper thermal management. The most significant temperature dependent p...
متن کاملWater Management in the Cathode Side of a PEM Fuel Cell
A one dimensional isothermal mathematical modeling of cathode side of a Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell is developed for the water management problem. Water transport is investigated in both cathode Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) and membrane through solving appropriate equations for fluid flow and mass transport in GDL and water transport within the membrane. The gaseous mixture flowing in...
متن کاملA Single-Chamber Microbial Fuel Cell without an Air Cathode
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) represent a novel technology for wastewater treatment with electricity production. Electricity generation with simultaneous nitrate reduction in a single-chamber MFC without air cathode was studied, using glucose (1 mM) as the carbon source and nitrate (1 mM) as the final electron acceptor employed by Bacillus subtilis under anaerobic conditions. Increasing current a...
