在燃料电池老化过程中,催化层中催化剂的迁移和粒径增加会造成燃料电池的性能下降。本文提出了一种新型的团聚体分层分布模型,且分层界面可沿膜厚方向发生线性变化。通过宏观电极模型和团聚体亚尺度模型的耦合,用有限元法分析了团聚体不均匀分布对质子交换膜燃料电池性能的影响。研究表明,靠近团聚体外侧的催化剂的流失对电池性能影响很大,当没有催化剂的外侧区域达到0.1倍半径时,输出电压为0.2V时的电流密度下降89.8%;当没有催化剂的内侧区域达到0.1倍半径时,输出电压为0.2V时的电流密度下降25%左右。相比于向质子交换膜方向的催化剂迁移,向气体扩散层方向的催化剂迁移对电池性能影响更大,其中分层递增分布的团聚体模型的电池电流密度是均匀分布团聚体模型的60%左右,分层递减分布模型的电流密度是均匀分布团聚体模型的10%左右。此外,铂负载量增加一倍对递增分布模型的电池性能有所提高。 相似文献

质子交换膜燃料电池(Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell,PEMFC)是一种清洁高效的发电技术,其中膜电极是PEMFC的核心部件,膜电极的材料和制备工艺对电池性能的影响明显。为了对电池性能进行优化,针对Pt/C催化剂类型、膜电极热压温度、碳粉导电层疏水特性以及催化层中Nafion质量分数等因素进行了电流-电压实验测试,获得了电池性能的影响规律。实验结果表明:Pt/C催化剂类型、碳粉导电层疏水性以及催化层Nafion质量分数对电池性能有显著影响,当碳粉导电层聚四氟乙烯质量分数为24%,催化层中Nafion质量分数为30%时,电池性能达到最优值。膜电极热压温度对电池性能影响较小,但对导电碳粉层与催化层的粘结力影响显著,过低的温度会导致膜电极出现分层。 相似文献

One‐dimensional model on the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of proton exchange membrane fuel cell is proposed, where the membrane hydration/dehydration and the possible water flooding of the respective cathode and anode gas diffusion layers are considered. A novel approach of phase‐equilibrium approximation is proposed to trace the water front and the detailed saturation profile once water emerges in either anode or cathode gas diffusion layer. The approach is validated by a semi‐analytical method published earlier. The novel approach is applicable to the polarization regime from open circuit voltage to the limiting current density under practical operation conditions. Oxygen diffusion is limited by water accumulation in the cathode gas diffusion layer as current increases, caused by excessive water generation at the cathode catalyst layer and the electro‐osmotic drag across the membrane. The existence of liquid water in the anode gas diffusion layer is predicted at low current densities if high degrees of humidification in both anode and cathode feeds are employed. The influences of inlet relative humidity, imposed pressure drop, and cell temperature are correlated well with the cell performance. In addition, the overpotentials attributed from individual components of the MEA are delineated against the cell current densities. 相似文献

Mathematical models on transport processes and reactions in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell generally assume an isothermal cell behavior for sake of simplicity. This work aims at exploring how a non-isothermal cell body affects the performance of PEM fuel cells with single and double serpentine cathode flow fields, considering the effects of flow channel cross-sectional areas. Low thermal conductivities of porous layers in the cell and low heat transfer coefficients at the surface of current collectors, as commonly adopted in cell design, increase the cell temperature. High cell temperature evaporates fast the liquid water, hence reducing the cathode flooding; however, the yielded low membrane water content reduces proton transport rate, thereby increasing ohmic resistance of membrane. An optimal cell temperature is presented to maximize the cell performance. 相似文献

In this work, we report on flooding phenomena occurring during dynamic operation of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The combination of high spatially and temporally resolved neutron radiography and submillimeter resolved current density distribution measurements enables the simultaneous observation of local liquid water content and current density transients in the channel and land areas of a differentially operated PEFC air cathode. The local transients of a triangular voltage sweep and a voltage step are presented here. Both results demonstrate that in the land area the current density is only marginally affected by the local liquid water content. In the voltage sweep experiment, at higher cell polarization a limiting current density is observed in the land area as a result of mass transport limitations due to the high lateral diffusion path length. In the channel area the corresponding transients of the liquid water content and the current density both exhibit a hysteresis. The transients of the voltage step indicate liquid water rearrangement in channel and land areas as a slow process occurring on a time scale of several minutes. Thereby, the local cell performance is primarily affected by the local liquid water content in front of the oxygen electrode. 相似文献

In this work, membrane resistance measurement and water balance experiment were implemented to investigate the feasibility for a PEM fuel cell operating with dry hydrogen. The results showed that when a thin membrane was used in a cell the performance and the membrane resistance changed a little while the anode humidity changed from saturated to dry. Comparing with the anode humidity, the influence of the cathode humidity was serious on the cell performance. The water balance experiments showed that the net water transport coefficient was negative even the anode was humidified and liquid water existed not only in the cathode but also in the anode. High cathode humidity was disadvantage for the removal of water both in the anode and the cathode. 相似文献

We present theoretical and experimental studies of an active water management system for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells that uses integrated wicks and electroosmotic (EO) pumps. The wicks and EO pumps act in concert to remove problematic excess liquid water from the fuel cell. In a previous paper, we showed that this system increases maximum power density by as much as 60% when operating with low air stoichiometric ratios and a parallel channel flow field. The theoretical model we develop here accounts for several key factors specific to optimizing system performance, including the wick's hydraulic resistance, the variation of water pH, and the EO pump's electrochemical reactions. We use this model to illustrate the favorable scaling of EO pumps with fuel cells for water management. In the experimental portion of this study, we prevent flooding by applying a constant voltage to the EO pump. We experimentally analyze the relationships between applied voltage, pump performance, and fuel cell performance. Further, we identify the minimum applied pump voltage necessary to prevent flooding. This study has wide applicability as it also identifies the relationship between active water removal rate and flooding prevention. 相似文献

A 3D numerical model was developed to explore the effects of the cathode flow channel configuration on the local transport phenomena and cell performance for parallel and interdigitated flow fields in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. The effect of liquid water formation on the reactant transport is taken into account in the model. For operating voltages greater than 0.7 V, the electrochemical reaction rates are low with a small amount of oxygen consumption and liquid water production, and all cell designs provide sufficient oxygen for the electrochemical reactions. Thus, the flow channel aspect ratio and the flow channel cross-sectional area have little effect on the cell performance. For operating voltages lower than 0.7 V, as the operating voltage decreases the electrochemical reaction rates gradually increase with a large amount of oxygen consumption and liquid water production, so the cell performance is strongly dependent on the flow field design. For the parallel flow field design, lower flow channel aspect ratios and flow channel cross-sectional area areas improve liquid water removal, thus, decreasing both improves cell performance. However, the interdigitated design has an optimal aspect ratio of 1.00 and an optimal cross-sectional area of 1.000 mm × 1.000 mm. 相似文献
