High-temperature PEM Fuel Cell Catalysts and Catalyst Layers

  • Chapter
PEM Fuel Cell Electrocatalysts and Catalyst Layers

Abstract

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), including direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), are considered one of the most promising types of energy converting devices due to their low/zero pollution emission, high power density, and high energy conversion efficiency. However, commercialization faces several major technical challenges, the top three being high cost, unsatisfactory durability, and operational flexibility. The last several decades have witnessed great efforts to overcome these challenges. Operating a PEMFC at temperatures greater than 90 °C is one approach [1].
