3D dynamic models are developed for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and hydrogen tanks, respectively. In the fuel cell model, we consider the major transport and electrochemical processes within the key components of a single PEFC that govern fuel cell transient including the electrochemical double-layer behavior, mass/heat transport, liquid water dynamics, and membrane water uptake. As to modeling hydrogen tanks, we consider a LaNi5-based system and develop a general formula that describes hydrogen absorption/desorption. The model couples the hydride reaction kinetics and mass/heat transport. The dynamic characteristics of the PEFC and hydrogen tank, together with the possible coupling of the two systems, are discussed.

AbstractGenerating electric power using CO2 as a reactant is challenging because the electroreduction of CO2 usually requires a large overpotential. Herein, we report the design and development of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell driven by feeding H2 and CO2 to the anode (Pt/C) and cathode (Pt0.8Ru0.2/C), respectively, based on their theoretical electrode potentials. Pt–Ru/C is a promising electrocatalysts for CO2 reduction at a low overpotential; consequently, CH4 is continuously produced through CO2 reduction with an enhanced faradaic efficiency (18.2%) and without an overpotential (at 0.20 V vs. RHE) was achieved when dilute CO2 is fed at a cell temperature of 40 °C. Significantly, the cell generated electric power (0.14 mW cm−2) while simultaneously yielding CH4 at 86.3 μmol g−1 h−1. These results show that a H2-CO2 fuel cell is a promising technology for promoting the carbon capture and utilization (CCU) strategy.
