Abstract
Main motivation for the use of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) in traffic applications is its significant higher vehicle efficiency compared to internal combustion engines (ICE) especially under lowβload operation. Hydrogen is the ideal fuel for PEMFCs as it yields the highest level of fuel cell performance. Three different applications for gas permeation inside a fuel cell system have been investigated: water recovery, hydrogen purification, and oxygen enrichment. The focus was on the analysis of the technical feasibility and the availability of capable membranes on the pilotβscale size for each application.
