Abstract
PEM fuel cell based on PBI polymer and phosphoric acid, can be operated at temperature between 120 and 180 °C. Reactants humidification is not required and CO content up to 2% in the fuel can be tolerated, affecting only marginally performance. This is what makes HT PEM very attractive, as low quality reformed hydrogen can be used and water management problems are avoided. Till nowadays, from experimental point of view, only few studies relate to the development and characterization of high temperature stacks. The aim of this work is to present first results of an experimental activity carried out to analyze the performance of HTPEMFC single cell with two different PBI-membraneI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
