Abstract
High temperature Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (HT-PEMFC) have attracted the attention of researchers in recent years due to their advantages such as working with reformed gases, easy heat management and compatibility with micro-cogeneration systems. In this study, it is aimed to designed, manufactured and tested of the HT-PEMFC stack based on Polybenzimidazole/Graphene Oxide (PBI/GO) composite membranes. The micro-cogeneration application of the PBI/GO composite membrane based stack was investigated using a reformat gas mixture containing Hydrogen/Carbon Dioxide/Carbon Monoxide (H 2 /CO 2 /CO). The prepared HT-PEMFC stack comprises 12 cells with 150 cm 2 active cell area. Thermo-oil based liquid cooling was used in the HT-PEMFC stack and cooling plates were used to prevent coolant leakage between the cells. As a result of HT-PEMFC performance studies, maximum 546 W and 468 W power were obtained from PBI/GO and PBI membranes based HT-PEMFC stacks respectively. The results demonstrate that introducing GO into the PBI membranes enhances the performance of HT-PEMFC technology and demonstrated the potential of the HT-PEMFC stack for use in micro-cogeneration applications. It is also underlined that the developed PBI/GO composite membranes have the potential as an alternative to commercially available PBI membranes in the future. • HT- PEMFC stack with PBI/GO composite membrane was designed and fabricated. • The oil-based on–off cooling system provide thermal uniformity of the HT-PEMFC stack. • High thermal and electrical efficiencies were obtained for PBI/GO membrane than PBI membrane. • GO additive in the membranes has a positive effect on HT-PEMFC stack performance.
