Abstract:

The objectives of the solid polymer electrolyte fuel cell project are I Investigations of physico-chemical properties of various solid polymer electrolyte electrode kinetics at ptsolid polymer electrolyte interfaces. II Optimization of low and high Pt-loading gas diffusion electrode conditions, structures, membrane bonding to obtain most effective electrocatalyst membrane interface and hence attain maximum fuel cell performance. III Mathematical modeling of electrochemical, mass transfer and heat generation characteristics associated with cell operation to optimize fuel cell thermal and water management.
