기존 고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)의 단점을 극복하기 위해 고체전해질 알카라인연료전지(SAMFC)가 근래에 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 술폰화 폴리벤지이미다졸(PBI) 유도체를 이용하여 SAMFC용 막을 제조하였다. 술폰화 폴리벤지이미다졸 유도체는 KOH에 의해 쉽게 도핑되고 도핑된 막은 높은 $OH^-$의 전도도와 기계적 강도를 보였다. 특히 sPBI-co-PBI (술폰화 PBI : 비술폰화 PBI = 75 : 25)의 경우, $90^{\circ}C$ 100% 상대습도 하에서 $2.98{\times}10^{-2}\;S/cm$의 높은 $OH^-$의 전도도를 보였다.

The gas diffusion layer is the key component of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell because it directly affect to the mass transport mechanism and dynamic behavior of the cell. In this study, the effects of GDL aging on the transient response of the PEM fuel cell is systematically investigated using current step transient response analysis under different stoichiometric ratios and humidity conditions. With GDLs aged by the accelerated stress test, the effects of hydrophobicity and structural changes due to carbon loss in the GDL on the transient response of PEM fuel cells are determined. The degraded GDLs that had uneven hydrophobicity distributions cause local water flooding inside the GDL and induce lower and unstable voltage responses after load changes.

양이온만을 선택적으로 투과하는 양이온교환막의 응용분양에는 electrodialysis, deffusion dialysis, reverse osmosis, membrane electrolysis, membrance fuel cell 등이 있다. 현재 사용화된 양이온교환막들은 좋은 성능과 안정성을 가지고 있지만 가격이 너무 비싸고 일부응용분야에 최적화 되지 않은 문제를 가지고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해 많은 연구가들은 저렴하고 생산이 용이하며 각 응용분야에 적용 가능한 여러 가지 양이온교환막의 소재에 대한 연구를 진행하여 왔다. 그 소재들의 소개와 이를 이용한 양이온교환막의 성능과 특성에 대하여 기술하였다.

The operating temperature of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) usually has to be limited under $100^{\circ}C$ to maintain the proper ionic conductivity. Therefore, the only product from reaction, water, is in the liquid phase. Two-phase flow makes the flow phenomenon in the channel difficult to understand and predict. Water blocking in the PEMFC channel or the pore of Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL), called flooding, is known as the main effect of PEMFC degradation. To analyze two-phase flow, the PEMFC with transparent acrylic plate was used. Two-phase flow patterns were observed by varying the current density. When the PEMFC is mounted horizontally, water in the cathode is mainly transported on the interface between the channel and GDL.

A two-dimensional thermal model of proton exchange membrane fuel cell with large active area is developed to investigate the performance of fuel cell with large active area over various thermal management conditions. The core sub-models of the two-dimensional thermal model are one-dimensional agglomerate structure electrochemical reaction model, one-dimensional water transport model, and a two-dimensional heat transfer model. Prior to carrying out the simulation, this study is contributed to set up the operating temperature of the fuel cell with large active area which is a maximum temperature inside the fuel cell considering durability of membrane electrolyte. The simulation results show that the operating temperature of the fuel cell and temperature distribution inside the fuel cell can affect significantly the total net power at extreme conditions. Results also show that the parasitic losses of balance of plant component should be precisely controlled to produce the maximum system power with minimum parasitic loss of thermal management system.

AEM which were used for solid alkaline fuel cell(SAFC) were prepared by photo polymerization in method pore-filling with various quaternary ammonium cationic monomers and crosslinkers without an amination process. Their specific thermal and chemical properties were characterized through various analyses and the physico-chemical properties of the prepared electrolyte membranes such as swelling behavior, ion exchange capacity and ionic conductivity were also investigated in correlation with the electrolyte composition. The polymer electrolyte membranes prepared in this study have a very wide hydroxyl ion conductivity range of 0.01 - 0.45S/cm depending on the composition ratio of the electrolyte monomer and crosslinking agent used for polymerization. However, the hydroxyl ion conductivity of the membranes was relatively higher at the whole cases than those of commercial products such as A201 membrane of Tokuyama. These pore-filling membranes have also excellent properties such as smaller dimensional affects when swollen in solvents, higher mechanical strength, lowest electrolyte crossover through the membranes, and easier preparation process compared of traditional cast membranes. The prepared membranes were then applied to solid alkaline fuel cell and it was found comparable fuel cell performance to A201 membrane of Tokuyama.

지구 온난화로 인한 이상기후 현상이 빈번하게 발생함에 따라 많은 국가들이 탄소 중립을 선언하였고, 수소경제 사회로의 진입을 위해 노력하고 있다. 이때 암모니아는 수소 저장 밀도가 높아 수소 캐리어로써의 역할로 주목받고 있을 뿐만 아니라 무탄소 연료로써 활용의 역할도 주목받고 있다. 특히 암모니아 연료전지에 있어서, 음이온 교환막 연료전지에서는 별도의 암모니아 분해 장비나 수소 고순도화 장비가 필요 없이 암모니아를 바로 연료전지로 공급해 줄 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 음이온 교환막 연료전지의 작동 원리 및 연구 동향을 살펴보고 이를 바탕으로 음이온 교환막 연료전지에서 암모니아를 직접 연료로 활용한 연구 사례들을 알아보고자 한다.

78개 셀의 전극유효 면적이 $295cm^{2}$인 고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC) 스택의 운전특성과 CO 피독에 대한 영향을 조사하였다. 전류밀도 $325mA/cm^{2}$에서 출력 5.4kW를 6시간 유지시키는 동안 셀들의 전압편차는 2.3%로 매우 안정함을 보였다. 개질과정의 부산물로 생성되는 CO는 PEHFC의 성능에 중요한 영향을 끼치는 스택의 주 오염물질중의 하나이다. 시간에 따른 연속적인 CO 피독 실험(5-20ppm)은 스택의 피독과 재생과정의 route를 알 수 있었다.

Stainless steel 304 and 316 plates were deposited with the multi-layered coatings of titanium film (0.1um) and gold film (1-2um) by an electron beam evaporation method. The XRD patterns of the stainless steel plates modified with the multi-layered coatings showed the crystalline phases of the external gold film and the stainless steel substrate. Surface microstructural morphologies of the stainless steel bipolar plates modified with multi-layered coatings were observed by AFM and FE-SEM images. The external gold films formed on the stainless steel plates showed microstructure of grains of about 100nm diameter. The grain size of the external surface of the stainless steel plates increased with the gold film thickness. The electrical resistance and water contact angle of the stainless steel bipolar plates covered with multi-layered coatings were examined with the thickness of the external gold film.

This paper deals with the effects of design (active area, current density, membrane conductivity) and operating parameters (temperature, relative humidity) on the performance of hydrogen-fuelled proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell. The design parameter of a PEM fuel cell with the active area of the single cell considered in this study is 25 cm² (5 × 5). The operating voltage and current density of the fuel cell were 0.7 V and 0.5 A/cm² respectively. The variations of activation voltage, ohmic voltage, and concentration voltage with respect to current density are analyzed in detail. The membrane conductivity with variable relative humidity is also analyzed. The results show that the maximum activation overpotential of the fuel cell was 0.4358 V at 0.21 A/cm² due to slow reaction kinetics. The calculated ohmic and concentrated overpotential in the fuel cell was 0.01395 V at 0.76 A/cm² and 0.027 V at 1.46 A/cm² respectively.
