摘要
The low power range can be an interesting application market for the PEM fuel cell in the near future. With a possible function as battery in portable devices the banded structure PEM fuel cell will be an advantageous alternative to the conventional stack. The new system provides high output voltages, a flat cell geometry and can be optimized with respect to smaller cell volumes. The article describes the principle function of such a system and the necessary parameter for optimizing the cell geometry. A comparison with a conventional stack design is given and experimental results with an eight cell banded structure stack are presented. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
