Problems solved by technology

[0016] (1) When the flow rate of hydrogen and air delivered to the fuel cell stack changes greatly, for example, when the flow rate is small, it is easy to cause overhumidification, and when the temperature drops, it is easy to condense a small amount of liquid water before entering the fuel cell stack. This kind of liquid water will be brought into the fuel cell hydrogen diversion groove and air diversion groove respectively by wet hydrogen and humid air, resulting in water blocking of the diversion groove
Water blockage in the hydrogen diversion groove or water blockage in the air diversion groove of a single cell will cause the single cell to be in a starvation state of fuel hydrogen or insufficient air supply, and the performance of the single cell will drop sharply. reverse polarity and burn
[0017] (2) When the pressure of hydrogen and air delivered to the fuel cell stack fluctuates, such as when the pressure increases, it is easy to cause the humidified air with high relative humidity when the original pressure is small, and the hydrogen gas will condense when it enters the fuel cell stack. A small amount of liquid water will cause the same consequences as in (1) above
However, these measures still cannot completely prevent the occurrence of the above problems, and the battery operation is still not stable enough

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a fuel cell, in particular to a fuel cell with high operating stability. 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 circuit to form a current loop. [0003] At the anode end ...
