Study on self-humidified PEMFC with reactant circulation

  • 1. Department of Applied Chemistry, Harbin Institute of Technology, 150001 Harbin (China)

Description

New stack for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) has been developed to improve the performance of PEMFCs under non-humidifying condition by supplying reactant in series. The electromagnetic pump was used in the circulation pipeline to enhance the flow rate of reactants and thus to reduce the uneven distribution of water. Performance of the new stack was studied by using polarization curves and constant current test under various conditions
