Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel cells

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered as one promising clean and highly efficient power generation technology in 21st century. Current PEMFC operating at low temperatures (<80 °C) encounters several difficulties, such as CO tolerance, heat rejection, which can be, to a great extent, surmounted at higher temperatures (120–150 °C).However, the higher temperature conditions are much more challenging to implement, particularly with regards to the durability of the cell component materials.
