摘要: The electrochemical behavior of a direct ethanol feed proton exchange membrane fuel cell (DEFC) operating under steady-state isothermal conditions at 1 atm both anode and cathode sides is considered. A mathematical model that describes in one phase dimension the mass transport throughout compartment developed. influence operation parameters such as current density, temperature, catalyst layer thickness concentration on overpotential crossover rate has been examined. According to simulation results, it was found more sensitive protonic conductivity than diffusion coefficient layer. It concluded case low density values high concentrations aqueous solutions, serious problem for DEFC performance. Finally, good agreement between experimental results.
