The potential to improve the CO tolerance of a high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) was investigated by introducing a platinum-ruthenium alloy as anode catalyst. The electrolyte was a H3PO4 doped poly-2,5-benzimidazole polymer (ABPBI). The experiments were carried out at the temperatures between 403 and 443 K with a CO concentration in the H2 feed gas between 0 and 6.5 vol%. The alloy anode catalyst lowers significantly the negative influence of CO in the feed, exceeding the known temperature dependent CO poisoning mitigation in HT-PEMFCs. It was found that the voltage loss of a HT-PEMFC with PtRu anode catalyst was lower than that of a similar cell equipped with Pt anode. The dynamic cell voltage response to a current step was analyzed under CO influence, as well. The PtRu bimetallic anode electrode was found to lower the observed voltage overshoot behavior after a current step, if compared to conventional Pt anode.

ABSTRACTThis research effort sought to demonstrate that combining select phosphonic acid additives with Nafion could improve Nafion's high temperature electrochemical performance. A 1:1 mixture of the additive with Nafion, resulted in a film that demonstrated 30% higher conductivity than a phosphoric acid equilibrated Nafion control at 175°C. This improvement to the high temperature conductivity of the proton exchange membrane Nafion is without precedent. In addition, thermal analysis data of the test films suggested that the additives did not compromise the thermal stability of Nafion. The results suggest that the improved Nafion proton exchange membranes could offer superior electrochemical performance, but would retain the same degree of thermal stability as Nafion. This research could eventually lead to portable fuel cells that could oxidize unrefined hydrocarbon fuels, resulting in wider proliferation of fuel cells for portable power.
