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 کاملSolid polymer electrolyte membranes for fuel cell applications—a review
Fuel cells represent a clean alternative to current technologies for utilizing hydrocarbon fuel resources. Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have acquired due importance as they are best suited for applications where a quick start up is required such as in automobiles. The prime requirements of fuel cell membranes are high proton conductivity, low methanol/water permeability, goo...
متن کاملA rollable ultra-light polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell
We have developed a highly flexible, ultra-light and thin polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell that can be used as a portable power source for flexible electronics. To achieve such flexibility and ultra-lightness, we fabricated a thin flow-field plate using a thermal imprinting process and combined it with a laser-machined metal current collector. The air-breathing fuel cell, with a thickness...
متن کاملLiquid Water Removal from a Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell
Liquid water transport and removal from the gas diffusion layer GDL and gas channel of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell PEFC are studied experimentally and theoretically. In situ observations of the liquid water distribution on the GDL surface and inside the gas channel were made in an operating transparent PEFC. Liquid droplet formation and emergence from the GDL surface are characterized and t...
متن کاملEffect of CO in the reformatted fuel on the performance of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell
There are several obstacles to the commercialization of PEM fuel cells. One of the reasons is that the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the reformatted fuel, even at a very small scale, decreases the fuel cell performance. The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of CO in reformatted fuel on PEM fuel cell performance. For this purpose, a steady state, one-dimensional and non-isoth...
