Natural bamboo charcoal (BC) powder has been developed as a novel filler in order to further improve performances of the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based alkaline solid polymer electrolyte (ASPE) by solution casting method. X-ray diffraction patterns of composite polymer electrolyte with BC revealed the decrease in the degree of crystallinity with increasing content of BC. Scanning electron microscopy images showed pores on a micrometer scale (average diameter about 2 μm) distributed inside and on the surface of the membranes, indicating a three-dimension network formed in the polymer framework. The ionic conductivity was measured by the alternating-current (AC) impedance method, and the highest conductivity value of 6.63 × 10−2 S·cm−1 was obtained with 16 wt % of BC content and mKOH:mPVA = 2:1.5 at 30 °C. The contents of BC and KOH could significantly influence the conductivity. The temperature dependence of the bulk electrical conductivity displayed a combination of Arrhenius nature, and the activation energy for the ion in polymer electrolyte has been calculated. The electrochemical stability window of the electrolyte membrane was over 1.6 V. The thermogravimetric analysis curves showed that the degradation temperatures of PVA-BC-KOH ASPE membranes shifted toward higher with adding BC. A simple nickel-hydrogen battery containing PVA-BC-KOH electrolyte membrane was assembled with a maximum discharge capacity of 193 mAh·g−1.

The use of Proton-Exchange Membranes Fuel Cells is presented as a key alternative to face the increasing and concerning problems related to global warming. The international expansion of green policies, has resulted in the need of ensuring their quality and reliability performance. Although fuel cells can get to play a significant role, this technology is still under development, paying special attention to the problems related to gas starvation and degradation. In this context, the present work deals with the virtual sensor implementation of one of the voltage cells present in a stack, whose operation is subjected to several degradation cycles. The proposal predicts indirectly the voltage of one cell from the current state of the rest of the cells by means of an intelligent model.

“…This is clearly reflected in the increasingly stricter legislation to limit emissions of both pollutant and greenhouse effect gases [1], [2], [3]. In this context, fuel cells based on proton-exchange membranes (PEMFC) can be the future solution for a clean and efficient energy conversion [4], [5], [6]. They can be used either in transportation to gradually replace internal combustion engine cars by fuel cell hybrid electric vehicles [5], [7], [8], [9] or in stationary applications to be integrated in micro-combined heat and power (CHP) units [5], [10], [11], [12].…”
