Description

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of fuel cells, in particular to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell.
Background
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells have been widely used in the fields of transportation vehicles, buses, ships, underwater vehicles, spacecraft, and the like. Compared to other power source type technologies, pem fuel cells have many advantages, including short start-up time, small system size, low pollutant emissions, relatively high system efficiency, and low noise levels. In a proton exchange membrane fuel cell system for a vehicle, pure hydrogen is generally used as a power generation fuel, and hydrogen gas that has not been sufficiently used will be discharged to the atmosphere together with impurity gases. However, in order to achieve maximum power generation efficiency of the fuel cell power system and to ensure safe use conditions of the fuel cell power system, it is required that the system should consume as little fuel as possible at a given output power, and should minimize the discharge of hydrogen to the outside environment.
The ratio of hydrogen consumed by the fuel cell to generate heat and electricity to hydrogen supplied to the fuel cell system is currently defined as the fuel hydrogen utilization. If the fuel cell system is operating at 100% utilization, the amount of hydrogen fed to the anode of the fuel cell will be the same as the stoichiometric flow of hydrogen required for the electrochemistry, referred to as dead-end operation. However, in dead-end operation, there is a risk of fuel starvation at the fuel cell outlet, which may lead to cell voltage instability and cell performance degradation. The main reasons for this effect are the accumulation of liquid water at the anode and the accumulation of impurity gases at the anode and nitriding at the cathode, resulting in hydrogen starvation or even starvation at the anode tail. Therefore, in the conventional electric pile, hydrogen is supplied to the pem fuel cell in an amount much larger than the stoichiometric flow rate during operation, so as to provide sufficient forced convection and excess gas, discharge accumulated product water from the anode, and reduce the concentration of impurity gas and nitrogen, generally, the fuel utilization rate of such a pem fuel cell system without a hydrogen circulation system is about 80-90%, and the excess hydrogen and impurity gas are discharged directly or intermittently to the external environment in an excess manner. In order to further improve the utilization rate of the fuel, technicians develop a hydrogen pump and a hydrogen ejector, hydrogen is sucked to an inlet from an outlet of the electric pile again, and the utilization rate of the fuel can be improved to more than 95%. However, such a circulation system still has the following problems: because of the accumulation effect of the impurity gas (mainly from the impurity gas contained in the nitrogen and hydrogen permeating from the cathode side to the anode), the closed hydrogen circulation system needs to continuously and intermittently discharge the gas to reach the balance of hydrogen concentration, at the moment, the pulse discharged gas contains a large amount of hydrogen, and the improvement of the fuel utilization rate is limited; secondly, the addition of a circulating pump additionally increases the components of the system, increases the complexity and cost of the system, reduces the reliability of the system and increases the power consumption; in addition, the hydrogen ejector has limited hydrogen consumption amount of the galvanic pile under the low-load working condition, so that enough ejection gas is difficult to generate to meet the full-power use requirement of the galvanic pile.
