Evaluation and optimization of Solid Polymer Electrolyte (SPE) fuel cells
Abstract
The reaction air of a fuel/air solid polymer electrolyte (SPE) fuel cell was water saturated utilizing excess moisture in the fuel by diffusion thru an uncatalized portion of the SPE. This device eliminated the need for external humidification controls. Fuel/air current densities up to 750 ma/sq cm were demonstrated.
