| Summary: | (cell potential versus current density plots). The specific effects that were investigated were : (i) effects of scale up evaluated. Most membrane and electrodes assemblies (MEAs) for each PEMFC and the data was correlated using the five from 5 cm 2 to 50 cm2 single cells and stacking 50 cm2 - membranes; and (iii) light weight bipolar plates in PEMFCs. of self humidified single and multicell stack PEMFCs with parameter empirical equation. Performance was evaluated in terms of the polarization curves performances of a PEM fuel cell were investigated. provided by an outside source. Polarization plots were made Several types and two sizes of PEMFCs were constructed and single to multicell (quad cells) stack; (ii) the performance The effects of various design and operating variables on the various electrode structures, platinum loadings and were fabricated in-house but some specialized MEAs were |
