fuel cells

Longlong Zhang, Prof. W. G. Hurley

The fuel cell including AFC, PAFC, PEMFC and SOFC is an electrochemical conversion device that converts fuel and oxidant directly into electricity and heat and it is regarded as an important power source for the future due to its high conversion efficiency and zero harmful gas emission. The technology of fuel cell covers the area of mechanical engineering,control engineering, electrical engineering, electrochemical engineering and chemical engineering. The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is the most common type of fuel cell, its main advantages being that it starts quickly (less than a few minutes) and operates at low temperature (typically 35-120 ¢ªC).

Start date: 1st of September 2009. This project is completed.
