Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells for Automotive Applications: Low-Temperature Operation and Deployment in Material Handling Equipment
Abstract: Golisano Institute for Sustainability Rochester Institute of Technology Degree: Doctor of Philosophy Program: Sustainability Name of Candidate: Xuan Liu Title: Proton exchange membrane fuel cells for automotive applications: low-temperature operation and deployment in material handling equipment Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen from air to produce electric current, with water and heat as the main co-products. The management of liquid water from either the internal chemical reactions or externally humidified reactants is an important design consideration for proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells because of the effects on both cell performance and durability. To achieve proper water management, significant effort has been devoted to developing new fuel cell materials, hardware designs, and appropriate stack operating conditions. However, water management in the region of the channel-to-manifold interfaces has received limited attention. This region covers the ends of the bipolar plate from where liquid water exits the active area to the entrance of the stack exhaust manifolds where excess reactant flows from individual cells are combined and leave the stack. For practical applications, especially in the anode flow field, there is a small driving force to expel liquid water in this region. Under severe operating conditions such as freezing temperatures, the buildup of water may cause channel-scale blockage. This work investigated the water management of PEM fuel cells in the flow field by both ex-situ experiments and in-situ neutron imaging technique
