Mathematical Modeling of Transport Phenomena in Polymer Electrolyte and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
This thesis deals with modeling of two types of fuel cells: the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) and the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), for which we address four major issues: a) mass transport limitations; b) water management (PEFC); c) gas management (DMFC); d) thermal management. Four models have been derived and studied for the PEFC, focusing on the cathode. The first exploits the sl...
متن کاملLiquid methanol concentration sensors for direct methanol fuel cells
Liquid-fed direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs) are one of the most promising candidates for portable power electronics and automotive pplications due to their potentially high-energy density, simple storage, and distribution of the fuel. The concentration of methanol in the fuel irculation loop of a DMFC system is an important operating parameter, because it determines the electrical performance...
متن کاملModeling ruthenium dissolution in direct-methanol fuel cells
To approach this goal, we develop a detailed 1D model to describe the DMFC on the electrode and cell level, based on the in-house modeling framework DENIS. A two-phase flow model is implemented for the transport in gas diffusion layer (GDL) and catalyst layer (CL) at the anode side, whereas we consider only the gas phase at the cathode side. Electrochemistry is described by multistep mechanisms...
متن کاملRecent progress in the development of anode and cathode catalysts for direct methanol fuel cells
nt matter & 2013 0.1016/j.nanoen.2 thor. Tel.: +82 54 . nt_tiw123@yahoo Abstract Continuous growth in global energy demand has sparked concerns about energy security and environmental sustainability. In the past two decades, attempts have been made in the development of innovative energy technologies. The direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is among the most promising alternative energy sources fo...
متن کاملComprehensive characterization and understanding of micro-fuel cells operating at high methanol concentrations
We report on the analysis of the performance of each electrode of an air-breathing passive micro-direct methanol fuel cell (µDMFC) during polarization, stabilization and discharge, with CH3OH (2-20 M). A reference electrode with a microcapillary was used for separately measuring the anode the cathode potential. Information about the open circuit potential (OCP), the voltage and the mass transpo...
