Streszczenie / Abstract:
The fuel cell is a potential candidate for energy storage and conversion in our future energy mix. Indeed, a fuel cell is able to directly convert the chemical energy stored in fuel (e.g. hydrogen) into electricity, without undergoing different intermediary conversion steps. Among the different fuel cell types, the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell has shown great potential in automotive applications, due to its low operating temperature, solid-state electrolyte, and compactness. Many experts consider the PEM fuel cells to be one of the potential embarked energy candidates for terrestrial transportation.
The basic physics in the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells and their material/structural composition, such as bipolar plates, gas diffusion layer, catalyst layer and proton exchange membrane (electrolyte), will be introduced and explained. In addition to the PEM fuel cell technology, a short review of other fuel cell technologies will also be given.
