## Abstract Besides cost reduction, durability is the most important issue to be solved before commercialisation of PEM Fuel Cells can be successful. For a fuel cell operating under constant load conditions, at a relative humidity close to 100% and at a temperature of maximum 75βΒ°C, using optimal s

Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEM-FC) have received widespread attention as an alternative power source (EG&G Services, 2000). Fuel cells for mobile applications will necessarily be nonsteady-state (variable loads in power plants, climate effects on temperature and humidity, but also fast
## Abstract The cost and durability of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) are today limiting factors for largeβscale commercialisation of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). The MEA durability in a real working fuel cell (FC) is closely linked to specific operating conditions suc
## Abstract Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degrades when impurities are present in the anode fuel gas, referred to as catalyst poisoning. This paper investigates the effect of carbon dioxide and ammonia as impurities in the anode gas of the PEMFC, and found that the presence
## Abstract Low temperature fuel cells such as the Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cell (PEFC) are preferably used for domestic applications because of their moderate operating conditions. Using the existing distribution system, natural gas is used as a source for a hydrogen rich gas to power this fuel ce
