Membrane performance comparison in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack

A 5-cell proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack with different types of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) was tested to compare their performances and electrochemical characteristics. The experimental data were obtained with a stack of 5 cells and active area of 125 cm². The stack consisted of different Nafion^® and hydrocarbon membranes with the same types of electrocatalyst. The membranes were installed in different cells and in the same stack. Polarization and voltage measurement data were obtained to compare their performances at different temperatures and anode humidity conditions. Also, impedance spectroscopy data were obtained in similar manner to compare the differences in their resistance.     

Spreading of liquid droplets on proton exchange membrane of a direct alcohol fuel cell

Spreading of liquid droplets over solid surfaces is a fundamental process with a number of applications including electro-chemical reactions on catalyst surface in membrane electrode assembly of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell and direct alcohol fuel cell. The spreading process of droplet on the PEM porous substrate consists of two phenomena, e.g., spreading of droplet on PEM surface and imbibition of droplet into PEM porous substrate. The shrinkage of the droplet base occurs due to the suction of the liquid from the droplet into the PEM porous substrate. As a result of these two competing processes, the radius of the drop base goes through a maximum with time. The variation of droplet base and front diameter with time on the PEM porous substrate is monitored using microscope fitted with CCD camera and a PC. It is seen that the droplet base diameter goes through a maximum with time, whereas the front diameter increases continuously with time. Further, methanol droplet spreading and wetting front movement was faster than that for ethanol and deionized water. As the PEM porous substrate is wetted and imbibed well by the methanol compared to ethanol, it is expected that the cross over of methanol would be higher than that of ethanol in direct alcohol fuel cell. It should be noted that cross over of alcohol from anode side to cathode side through membrane is detrimental to the fuel cell operation. The experimental data on the variation of droplet base and wetting front diameter with time is predicted by the model available in the literature.     

Basic examination of membrane electrode assembly of proton exchange membrane fuel cell considering heat deterioration

The purpose of this research is to develop a standard preparation method for membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). Therefore, the preparation method for multilayered MEAs with gas diffusion layers (GDLs) and the degree to which polymer membranes deteriorate by heating were studied. As a result, improvement of power density by making multi catalyst layers provides a solution to some problems found in thin polymer membranes. In addition, it was found that improving the diffusion of gas through two-layer GDLs in cathode (duct side: carbon paper, catalyst layer side: carbon cross) results in a cross leak reduction. Moreover, a making condition of MEAs was optimized by varying the temperatures used for the multi catalyst layers and two-layer GDLs. The analysis of heat deterioration of the Nafion membrane using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) indicates that the optimal hot press temperature is 130 °C.

Development of a residence time distribution method for proton exchange membrane fuel cell evaluation

New in situ and minimally invasive methods are needed to quantify the presence of liquid water and ice within operating proton exchange membrane fuel cells. A volume sensitive residence time distribution technique was developed based on CO₂ tracer and infrared detection. The method, components and operation are detailed (tracer injection and detection, data scaling, calibration, and pressure correction). The measurement system was characterized by an electronic signal processing response time of 43 ms, accuracy and repeatability better than 0.5-5% error in transit time measurement and sufficient sensitivity to detect less than 10% changes in flow field channel and gas diffusion electrode void volumes. Results obtained with a simplified model fuel cell (single flow field channel, absence and presence of a gas diffusion layer) revealed the presence of two time resolved mechanistic steps for negative tracer step cases (convective tracer removal from flow field channel, diffusive tracer removal from gas diffusion layer). A one-dimensional model was derived using convective diffusion in flow field channels and cross-flow tracer exchange proportional to the concentration difference between flow field channel and gas diffusion electrode. Numerical computations showed good agreement with the model fuel cell experimental results.     

Effect of gas diffusion layer compression on the performance in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell

This study investigates the gas permeability, bulk density, thickness and conductivity of two types of gas diffusion layer (OC14, NC14) as a function of the compressed thickness. The compression of a gas diffusion layer reduces gas permeability and contact resistance. The performance is measured using a single proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with an active area of 25 cm². The results provide an optimum value of compression ratio that maximizes the cell performance. For OC14 the optimum compression ratio is about 64%, whereas for NC14 it is 59%. The best performances are 375 mA/cm² and 296 mA/cm² at 0.7 V, respectively. These results concerning the balance between compression and performance provide vital information for the fabrication of stacks and support for industrial applications.

High temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell using a sulfonated membrane obtained via H2SO4 treatment of PEEK-WC

A method for the sulfonation of PEEK-WC, a glassy poly(ether ether ketone) with sulphuric acid is presented. Depending on the reaction time, polymers with ion exchange capacity (IEC) from 0.30 to 0.76 meq_H⁺/g are obtained, as determined by titration with NaOH solutions. The thermal properties of the polymers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, showing that the glass transition temperature increases with increasing degree of sulfonation, from 224 °C for pure PEEK-WC to 246 °C for the polymer having an IEC of 0.76 meq_H⁺/g. The sulfonated polymers were used to prepare proton exchange membranes for possible application in fuel cells. Dense membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation, using DMA as the solvent. The transport properties of the membranes were determined in terms of water uptake and permeability for hydrogen and oxygen. Electrochemical characterization was performed by measuring cell voltage and power density curves as a function of current density at different working temperatures and the results were compared with those of a commercial Nafion membrane. A power density of 284 mW/cm² was obtained for S-PEEK-WC membrane at 120 °C in H₂/air fuel cell, slightly above the corresponding value found for Nafion.
