Record 3 2006-10-22

English

Subject field(s)
  • Fuel Cells (Electr.)
  • Electrochemistry
  • Batteries and Alternators (Motor Vehicles)
DEF

The separating layer in a PEM fuel cell that acts as an electrolyte (which is proton conducting) as well as a barrier film separating the hydrogen-rich feed in the cathode compartment of the cell from the oxygen-rich anode side.

CONT

The development of new fuel cells, such as the proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell, will require specialized cooling systems.

OBS

A PEM (Proton exchange Membrane, also called Polymer Electrolyte Membrane) fuel cell uses a simple chemical process to combine hydrogen and oxygen into water, producting electric current in the process.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Piles à combustible (Électricité)
  • Électrochimie
  • Accumulateurs et alternateurs (Véhicules automobiles)
CONT

[Pour] les piles PEMFC, l'électrolyte est une membrane polymère ionique de type acide ; dans ce type d'électrolyte, les ions négatifs sont retenus dans la structure de la membrane. Seuls les ions hydrogène H+ sont mobiles et libres de transporter la charge positive à travers la membrane, de l'anode vers la cathode et c'est ce mouvement associé à la circulation des électrons qui est à l'origine du courant produit.

CONT

Les nouvelles piles à combustible, comme la pile à membrane échangeuse de protons (MEP) nécessiteront des systèmes de refroidissement spécialisés.
