Portable proton exchange membrane fuel-cell systems for outdoor applications

Influence of cathode flow pulsation on performance of proton-exchange membrane fuel cell

“…By contrast, reported studies on balance-of-plant (BOP) are relatively small [8][9][10], although the BOP is essential to fuel cell operation. The optimum design of BOP is crucial to guarantee reliable operation and to minimize parasitic energy loss.…”

Catalytic hydrogen/oxygen reaction assisted the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) startup at subzero temperature

“…Repetitive ice formation and melting in the CL may induce structural damage to the membrane electrode assembly (MEA). Now, PEMFC storage and cold startup at subzero temperature have attracted increasing attention [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Although the coldstart capability of PEMFC is critically important, the relevant literature is very scarce.…”

Polymer electrolyte fuel cell mini power unit for portable application

“…The interest on Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells (PEFC) technology as energy source for portable application has increased due to the characteristics of high energy density, high efficiency and no pollution of these devices [1][2][3]. "Air-breathing" stack is an emerging class of fuel cells for all those low power devices actually served by conventional batteries, because it does not require sub-systems for air supply and humidification.…”
