Cell-Based Experimental Analysis of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)

Özet

This study is focused on sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and a cell based experimental analysis of Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell. By keeping NaBH4, citric acid (C6H8O7) which is used as a catalyzer and pure water at a static charge, the interchange of a cell based voltage rating of PEM fuel cell with ten cells at two different temperatures is evaluated. 3 g NaBH4, H2O/NaBH4: 2 mol/mol (x=0) and C6H8O7 catalyzer/NaBH4: 0.1 g/g and 250 cm3 of reactor volume production are realized. When the water temperature was raised to 60 ºC from 40 ºC, total voltage rating increased 6.1%. While, in the experiment of 40 ºC, the interchange in voltage ratings are between 0.53 V and 0.78 V, mean values in the experiment of 60 ºC are between 0.61 V and 0.79 V.
