Abstract

The proton exchange film fuel cell is connected to the test system while the temperature of the cell is controlled, cathode reactant is pumped into the cathode chamber after the cathode chamber is pretreated with nitrogen, and the circuit is turned on after hydrogen is led to the anode, so that the residual oxygen in the cathode chamber is reacted fully. During the reaction, the hydrogen flow rate to the anode chamber and the flow rate of ethanol solution of nitrobenzene pumped into the cathode chamber are controlled, the reaction current is controlled via the variable resistor, and thus aniline product is produced in case of no load. The proton exchange film fuel cell has porous three-in-one film electrodes. The present invention makes it possible to produce electric energy while synthesizing product and has important significance in producing small amount of high-quality chemical product.
