Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to a control method capable of improving the stability of the fuel cell for start-up and shutdown operation. Background technique
[0002] An electrochemical fuel cell is a device that converts hydrogen and oxidants into electrical energy and reaction products. The internal core component of the device is the membrane electrode (Membrane Electrode Assembly, referred to as MEA). The membrane electrode (MEA) is composed of a proton exchange membrane and two porous conductive materials, such as carbon paper, sandwiched between the two sides of the membrane. On the two boundary surfaces of the membrane and the carbon paper, there are even and finely dispersed catalysts for initiating electrochemical reactions, such as metal platinum catalysts. Conductive objects can be used on both sides of the membrane electrode to draw the electrons generated during the electrochemical reaction through an external circ...
