Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells – Fundamentals and Applications 質子交換膜燃料電池 --- 原理與應用 C. W. Lin Department of Chemical Engineering National Yunlin University of Science & Technology
5
Fuel cell technology A Dream, Challenge Or A Necessity
8
Fuel cell as energy converter Chemical energy of the fuels Electrical energy conversion Thermal energy conversion Mechanical energy conversion
9
H2H2 H2H2 O2O2 O2O2 H + H + H + H + - - - - O H H O H H National Yunlin University of Science & Technology Functional Polymer Lab. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes sandwiched around an electrolyte. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other, generating electricity, water and heat.
10
High energy-conversion efficiency Thermodynamic efficiency for fuel cells and Carnot efficiency for heat engines
13
What is a fuel cell? Proton and hydroxyl conducting fuel cells
14
Modular design Fuel cells for different scale applications
19
Small transportation Can we apply small technologies to become more sustainable?

DMFC: Working principle CH 3 OH+H 2 O CO 2 +6H + +6e Anode O 2 +4H + +4e 2H 2 O Cathode CH 3 OHO2O2 H2OH2O e DRYDRY H2OH2OH2OH2O H + transport e fuel crossover CO2CO2 Catalyst poisoning Pt-CO
23
DMFC: Problems and possible solutions Methanol crossover Hybrid membranes, nanocomposites, etc Catalyst poisoning (Pt-CO) Better complex catalyst (Pt-X), higher temperature (>120°C) Slow “ water shift reaction ” (CH 3 OH+H 2 O CO 2 +6H + +6e) below ~100 °C Better complex catalyst, higher temperature But the higher the temperature, the worse the water balance in membrane Water-free membranes?
24
PEMFC: Water balance in membrane Water balance in polymer membrane. H 2 2H + +2e Anode O 2 +4H + +4e 2H 2 O Cathode H + transport H 2 O diffusion Electro-osmotic drag H + (H 2 O) H 2 O diffusion H + transport H2H2 O2O2 H2OH2O ee DRYDRY WETWET H2OH2OH2OH2O
