Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is applied to clarify a dominating factor on variation of fuel cell performance with two
types of polymer electrolyte membranes, a hydrocarbon membrane and a perfluorinated membrane. MRI results revealed that the
hydrocarbon membrane showed a water content higher than that of the perfluorinated membrane, responsible for a better fuel
cell performance due to decrease of resistance loss of the fuel cell.

操作参数对PEM燃料电池中水迁移的影响 总被引:4,自引:1,他引:3
质子膜内水分和阴极多孔电极中液态水含量是PEM燃料电池正常运行的控制因素。本文给出了一个用于研究PEM燃料电池内水迁移的稳态、等温、两相流模型。模型耦合了连续方程、动量守恒方程和物质守恒方程,以及水在质子膜中传递方程。运用试验结果验证了模型的有效性。分析模拟结果表明,增大系统操作压力、升高电池操作温度和降低加湿温度将会使质子膜中水的净迁移通量增大;增大操作压力、降低操作温度和升高加湿温度会增加阴极CTL与GDL界面上液态水含量。 相似文献

Spatial and temporal mapping of water content across Nafion membranes under wetting and drying conditions 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0

Water transport and water management are fundamental to polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell operation. Accurate measurements of water content within and across the Nafion layer are required to elucidate water transport behavior and validate existing numerical models.We report here a direct measurement of water content profiles across a Nafion layer under wetting and drying conditions, using a novel magnetic resonance imaging methodology developed for this purpose. This method, multi-echo double half k-space spin echo single point imaging, based on a pure phase encode spin echo, is designed for high resolution 1D depth imaging of thin film samples. The method generates high resolution (<8 μm) depth images with an SNR greater than 20, in an image acquisition time of less than 2 min. The high temporal resolution permits water content measurements in the transient states of wetting and drying, in addition to the steady state. 相似文献

Nafion/mordenite hybrid membranes for the operation of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) above 100 °C were prepared by mixing of H+-form mordenite powder and perfluorosulfonylfluoride copolymer resin. PEMFC operation above 100 °C reduces CO poisoning as well as passivation of the Pt anode electrocatalyst by other condensable species. The physico-chemical properties of hybrid membranes were investigated by tensile strength and proton conductivity measurements. As the mordenite content increases at the high temperature region, the proton conductivity of hybrid membranes increased due to the late dehydration rate of existent water in the mordenite. Also, from the results of current–voltage relationship for single cells under 130 °C of operation condition, the hybrid membrane cell with 10 wt.% mordenite showed better performance than that of the others over the entire current density range. This result indicated that the existent water in the hybrid membrane containing 10 wt.% mordenite was higher than that with the others, thereby maintaining its conductivity. The Nafion/mordenite hybrid membrane prepared by this present method is thought to be a satisfactory polymer electrolyte membrane for PEMFC operation above 100 °C. 相似文献

The primary role of the gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) is to maintain the delicate balance between water retention and removal in GDLs. Water management in the fuel cell is related to the breakthrough pressure at which water starts to pass through GDL, and the drainage pressure, which is maintained after the breakthrough. These pressures are both related to water management in fuel cells. Here we measured these pressures for two different GDLs and used X-ray tomography to visualize the water distributions within them. We then relate the variations in liquid pressures to the visualization and discuss water management in PEMFC. 相似文献

Recently, the requirements for cellular phones, portable computers, and digital cameras have increased dramatically. A portable electric power supply with long duration and high performance is needed for these products. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) can meet these requirements and becomes one of the best candidates for a portable power source. It is impossible to install an extra humidifier into small-scale portable electric products for PEMFC water management. This article presents a series of experiments to investigate the performance of a single PEMFC. The effects of different operating conditions on cell performance, including the temperature, pressure, and inlet fuel/oxidant flow rate, are discussed. The test results confirm the positive effect of these parameters on cell performance and power output. The interaction effect of temperature--flow rate is related to the cell humidity, and is important for cell performance. The dry-out problem for a PEMFC is also significantly revealed in the experiments for higher cell temperature and flow rate. Current experimental results can provide useful information for investigating the cell performance and its operating effects under dry fuel/oxidant flow conditions and as a benchmark for simulation work in future studies. 相似文献

Liquid water produced in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell experiences a freeze/thaw cycle when the cell is switched off and on while operating at ambient temperatures below freezing. This freeze/thaw cycle permanently deforms the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell capillary structures and reduces both the cell life and its ability to generate electric power. The X‐ray tomography facility at the Pohang Accelerator Laboratory was used to observe the freeze/thaw effects on the gas diffusion layer (GDL), which is the thickest capillary layer in the cell. Morphological changes in the GDL under a water freeze/thaw cycle were observed. A scenario in which freeze/thaw cycles affect fuel cell performance is suggested based on images from X‐ray tomography. 相似文献
