Evaluating Cathode Catalysts in the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell
The polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) converts the chemical energy of hydrogen and oxygen (air) into usable electrical energy. At the cathode (the positive electrode), a considerable amount of platinum is generally required to catalyse the sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This has implications regarding the cost in high-power applications, and for making a broad commercial...
متن کاملPolyaniline-derived Non-Precious Catalyst for the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell Cathode
This paper focuses on a new polyaniline-derived non-precious cathode catalyst with high oxygen-reduction activity, verified in electrochemical and fuel cell testing. The rotating disk (RDE) onset and half-wave potential (E1⁄2) of oxygen reduction were measured at 0.90 V and 0.77 V, respectively. Rotating ring-disk electrode (RRDE) study revealed very good selectivity in the fourelectron reducti...
متن کاملA Generic Electrical Circuit for Performance Analysis of the Fuel Cell Cathode Catalyst Layer through Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy
In this study, a generic electrical circuit is presented to characterise the frequency response of the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) Cathode Catalyst Layer (CCL) at different current densities. The new electrical circuit is derived from fundamental electrochemical and diffusion theory. It consists of a transmission line in combination with distributed Warburg elements. The validation of ...
متن کاملOxygen Mass Transport Limitations at the Cathode of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells
Oxygen transport across the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells was examined by varying the O2/N2 ratio and by varying the area of the GDL extending laterally from the gas flow channel under the bipolar plate (under the land). As the cathode is depleted of oxygen, the current density becomes limited by oxygen transport across the GDL. Oxygen deplet...
متن کاملMultiscale modeling of single-phase multicomponent transport in the cathode gas diffusion layer of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell
This research reports a feasibility study into multi-scale polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) modelling through the simulation of macroscopic flow in the multi-layered cell via 1D electrochemical modelling, and the simulation of microscopic flow in the cathode gas diffusion layer (GDL) via 3D single-phase multi-component lattice Boltzmann (SPMC-LB) modelling. The heterogeneous porous geometry...
