The CO Poisoning Effect in PEMFCs Operational at Temperatures up to 200°C
Open accessAbstract
The CO poisoning effect on carbon-supported platinum catalysts (at a loading of 0.5 mg per electrode) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) has been investigated in a temperature range from 125 to 200°C with the phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole membranes as electrolyte. The effect is very temperature-dependent and can be sufficiently suppressed at elevated temperature. By defining the CO tolerance as a voltage loss less than 10 mV, it is evaluated that 3% CO in hydrogen can be tolerated at current densities up to at 200°C, while at 125°C 0.1% CO in hydrogen can be tolerated at current densities lower than For comparison, the tolerance is only 0.0025% CO (25 ppm) at 80°C at current densities up to The relative anode activity for hydrogen oxidation was calculated as a function of the CO concentration and temperature. The effect of in hydrogen was also studied. At 175°C, 25% in the fuel stream showed only the dilution effect. © 2003 The Electrochemical Society. All rights reserved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
