Abstract

The invention discloses a power supply system for a miniature combined regenerative fuel cell. The power supply system is formed by compactly pressing a proton exchange membrane which includes a plurality of membrane electrode units and serves as a dual-function membrane electrode assembly for both electrolyzation and power generation, a bottom box which is filled with hydrogen-storage materials and electrolytic water, and taken as the hydrogen storage and the water supply, a base plate with air holes, a pole plate and a top cover. The power supply system can automatically absorb oxygen as an oxidant from the air. The membrane electrode units are connected in series in a certain order, and thereby realizing the cycle operation of electrolyzation and discharge on the same membrane. Therefore, the equipment structure is simplified and the size and the weight are reduced. The power supply system has the advantages of good cycle operation performance and stable output power, and provides a good development for the application of the miniature fuel cells in the aspect of the portable electronic products.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a miniature proton exchange membrane fuel power supply system, which does not need to use an external hydrogen source, and is a combined regenerative fuel cell power supply system that realizes its "charging" and discharge through the cyclic operation of electrolyzed water and battery power generation . Background technique [0002] A fuel cell is a device that directly converts the chemical energy of fuel into electrical energy. Among them, the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) has become the most widely used fuel cell. When PEMFC with H 2 When used as fuel, the by-products are only heat and water, which is a very clean and efficient way of energy conversion. PEMFC also has the advantages of fast startup, room temperature operation, no electrolyte loss, long life, and high specific power, and has broad application prospects in transportation, electronics, aviation, defense and other fields. [0003] In recent year...
