Abstract

The invention provides an anode intermittent exhaust method for an anode closed proton exchange membrane fuel cell. A humidification treatment program is set during an exhaust operation, and a protonexchange membrane is subjected to humidification treatment before exhaust gas is discharged. According to the method, by monitoring the voltage in system operation and closing a plurality of valves, the problems of repeated water loss and absorption of a membrane electrode during the intermittent exhaust process of the anode closed proton exchange membrane fuel cell are solved, and the problem ofslow recovery after an excessive voltage drop during the exhaust process is solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of fuel cells, in particular to an anode intermittent exhaust method for an anode closed proton exchange membrane fuel cell. Background technique [0002] The proton exchange membrane fuel cell with hydrogen and oxygen as the redox reaction gas is currently the most promising fuel cell for commercial application. In order to maximize the utilization rate of the anode gas raw material, the strategy of closing the anode is often adopted, and the hydrogen utilization rate of this utilization method can reach more than 99%. During the actual working process of the fuel cell, non-condensable impurity gases will gradually accumulate on the anode, the main components of which are nitrogen and a small amount of carbon monoxide. After the fuel cell works for a long time, the carbon carrier of the catalytic layer will be corroded to a certain extent, and impurity gases such as carbon monoxide will be generated, which will grad...
