Planar array stack design aided by rapid prototyping in development of air-breathing PEMFC

The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is one of the most important research topics in the new and clean energy area. The middle or high power PEMFCs can be applied to the transportation or the distributed power system. But for the small power application, it is needed to match the power requirement of the product generally. On the other hand, the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) is one of the most common type that researchers are interested in, but recently the miniature or the micro-PEMFCs attract more attention due to their advantages of high open circuit voltage and high power density.     

Effect of Nafion gradient in dual catalyst layer on proton exchange membrane fuel cell performance

The role of Nafion^® binder in the electrodes was evaluated by changing its content for the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) fabrication. In the study, we prepared MEAs that have two different compositions of catalyst layers in electrodes. One layer which is close to the electrolyte membrane has the higher Nafion^® content. The other which is near the gas diffusion media (GDM) has the lower one. Also, we changed the thickness of two layers to find the ideal composition of the binder and Pt/C in the electrode. The dual catalyst layer coated MEA showed higher cell performance at high current density region than the pristine MEA.

阳极H2S杂质气体对PEMFC性能影响的研究

研究了燃料气(H2)中的H2S对质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)性能的影响,结果表明H2S对电池性能的影响取决于燃料气中H2S的浓度、电池操作温度和电流密度,且这种影响是随时间累积的,最终都会造成电池性能的大幅衰减.使用纯净氢气并不能恢复中毒电池的性能,但通过多次循环伏安(CV)扫描可以完全恢复.同时,根据CV研究认为H2S会强烈吸附在Pt催化剂表面,随着扫描电位的升高,吸附物被氧化可能生成SO3或SO2-4.通过电化学阻抗(EIS)的方法得到了H2+50 ppm H2S/H2半电池体系下的阻抗谱,结果表明由于H2S吸附造成H2的吸附困难,从而导致在三相界面上的电化学反应所涉及的电荷转移阻抗增加.

质子交换膜燃料电池的0℃以下耐受性

车用质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)应具备环境适应性,但水-冰相变会影响膜电极组件(MEA).以-10℃及-20℃到正常操作温度的冰冻-解冻循环模拟实际工况,考察了水结冰对PEMFC性能的影响,结果表明:PEMFC的电化学活性表面积变小,扩散层的孔结构发生了变化,PEMFC的性能衰减.采用干燥N2吹扫、真空排水和RH=58.0%(25℃)的反应气吹扫等3种方法来避免水结冰的影响,发现经过冰冻-解冻循环后,PEMFC的性能均未下降.     

Design of a fuel cell generation system using a PEMFC simulator

In this paper, a PCS (power conditioner system) design for a fuel cell generation system has been proposed. In order to analyze the dynamic performance of the PCS, a fuel cell stack simulator is also designed, which can consider the dynamic V–I characteristics of the PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell). First, we explain the PCS design for a fuel cell generation system in detail along with the system configuration and operational principle of the developed PEMFC simulator that has been investigated. In addition, we cover the validity of the proposed system that has been verified by informative simulation and experimental results.
