Description

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell polar plate runner structure and fuel cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, in particular to a proton exchange membrane fuel cell polar plate flow channel structure and a proton exchange membrane fuel cell with the same.
Background
The Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) is a high-efficiency energy conversion device for directly converting chemical energy into electric energy, is not restricted by Carnot cycle, can directly convert the chemical energy into the electric energy with the conversion efficiency of 45 percent, can achieve the conversion efficiency of 90 percent by adopting combined heat and power supply, and the chemical reaction product is mainly water, can realize real zero pollution, so the PEMFC is widely applied to distributed power stations, mobile power supplies and the like, and is considered as a power source which can most possibly replace the traditional internal combustion engine in the future. One important factor of whether a fuel cell can occupy the market is the performance of the fuel cell, which is the external characteristic of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell, and the performance of the fuel cell is usually expressed in the form of the current density and voltage output to the outside, however, the management of water and gas is an important factor influencing the performance. Sufficient moisture can effectively enable hydrogen ions to pass through the proton exchange membrane and combine with oxygen ions, however, excessive moisture not only causes the exhaust pipeline on the cathode side to be blocked by water, but also causes the activity of the catalyst to be reduced because the cathode catalytic layer is submerged by water; the good gas management can not only make the discharge of the water generated by the reaction easier, namely prevent the fuel cell from flooding, but also accelerate the reaction of the fuel cell. Therefore, water and gas management is one of bottlenecks in the development of fuel cells.
