Autonomous Hydrogen Production for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells PEMFC

Abstract

HAL is a multidisciplinary open access archive for the deposit and dissemination of scientific research documents, whether they are published or not. The documents may come from teaching and research institutions in France or abroad, or from public or private research centers. L'archive ouverte pluridisciplinaire HAL, est destinée au dépôt et à la diffusion de documents scientifiques de niveau recherche, publiés ou non, émanant des établissements d'enseignement et de recherche français ou étrangers, des laboratoires publics ou privés.

Grand Challenges in Fuel cell Technology towards Resource Recovery

“…Hence, reduction in the durability of the membrane will also affect the durability of the aforementioned materials. With the current state of the art, elevated temperatures do not only cause PEM dehydration, but also the Nafion membrane itself degrades (Liu et al, 2019) (Legree et al, 2020) (Pistono and Rice, 2020) . Further operation at elevated temperatures, leads to further dehydration of the membrane causing increased transfer of hydrogen fuel that causes damage to the relevant materials; consequently, reducing the durability of the PEMFC overall.…”
