Effect of Anode/Cathode Operating Pressures on the Liquid Water Content and Performance of a PEM Fuel Cell

Abstract: The operating pressure has a significant influence in the performance of a fuel cell, as it influences the output voltage via activation, ohmic, and mass transport losses. In this work, experiments with a 50 cm2 polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell with serpentine flow field have been carried out to investigate the effects of the operating pressure on the cell performance, with a particular analysis of the liquid water distribution within the cell. A comprehensive matrix of anode and cathode pressures … Show more

“…Pure hydrogen was utilized to obtain the measurements depicted in Figure 3(a) with error bars. The open circuit potential was 3.70 V. The ideal potential was 1.23 V for the single fuel cell, dropping to 0.9 V accounting for activation losses [38]. The four-cell stack prototype of Figure 1b open circuit voltage was close to 3.6 V, that is, nearly four times the single cell voltage, as expected.…”
