Abstract

The invention discloses a composite fuel cell. A circulation is formed by a PEM membrane fuel cell and an AAEM membrane fuel cell which are adjacent to each other by utilizing different water generation volumes at the cathodes and the anodes of the PEM membrane fuel cell and the AAEM membrane fuel cell, and a coiled pipeline is arranged on a carbon plate to enable fluid to drive water to flow between two exchange membranes so as to supplement the water consumed at the AAEM cathode by utilizing water generated at the PEM membrane cathode, and also supplement water required for humidifying the PEM membrane anode by utilizing water generated at the AAEM membrane anode.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of fuel cells, and more specifically relates to a novel composite fuel cell, which has the characteristics of self-optimization of water management. Background technique [0002] Current proton exchange membrane (Proton Exchange Membrane, PEM) fuel cells produce water at the cathode and consume water at the anode. At the same time, due to the effect of electro-osmotic drag (EOD), part of the water in the anode will be dragged to the cathode, so that there will be more water in the cathode and less water in the anode, which will cause a large amount of liquid water to accumulate on the cathode and affect the reaction. Fluid transport, which in turn affects the working efficiency of the fuel cell. At the same time, the unbalanced distribution of water between the positive and negative stages of the PEM membrane will increase the resistance of the membrane itself, causing local overheating and damage to the PEM membrane...
