摘要: This paper investigates the effects of cathode gases containing chloride ions on the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance. Chloride solutions are vaporized using an ultrasonic oscillator and mixed with oxygen/air. The salt concentration of the mixed gas in the cathode is set by varying the concentration of the chloride solution. Five-hour tests show that an increase in the concentration of sodium chloride did not significantly affect the cell performance of the PEMFC. It is found that variations in the concentration of chloride do not show significant influence on the cell performance at low current density operating condition. However, for high current density operating conditions and high calcium chloride concentrations, the chloride ion appears to have a considerable effect on cell performance. Experimental results of 108-h tests indicate that the fuel cell operating with air containing calcium chloride has a performance decay rate of 3.446 mV h(-1) under the operating condition of current density at 1 A/cm(2). From the measurements of the I-V polarization curves, it appears that the presence of calcium chloride in the cathode fuel gas affects the cell performance more than sodium chloride does.
