Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of fuel cells, and in particular relates to a hydrogen-producing fuel cell power generation system for methanol reforming with a small amount of CO. Background technique [0002] Hydrogen is an element with abundant reserves and high combustion calorific value on the earth. After burning, only water will be produced without any other pollution products. It is the cleanest energy source. Therefore, hydrogen energy is also called the ultimate energy source for mankind. A hydrogen fuel cell is a device that converts chemical energy directly into electrical energy without going through the Carnot cycle of hydrogen and oxygen, and the energy conversion efficiency can reach more than 60%. The emergence of fuel cell technology makes hydrogen the best energy source to replace fossil energy. In recent years, with the development of proton exchange membrane fuel cells, especially the rapid development of its applicat...
