Abstract

The performance of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) with pure H2 and H2–CO mixtures as fuel gases was studied at a cell temperature of 80°C using dispersed Pt as anode catalyst and Nafion® 117 as electrolyte. The CO in the fuel gas leads to a significant loss in power density due to CO poisoning of the anode. The controlled addition of aqueous H2O2 solutions and the catalytic decomposition of H2O2 in a flow reactor at the inlet of the anode humidifier leads to a defined amount of oxygen in the fuel gas. It was shown that, with this method the same cell performance as with pure hydrogen was achieved up to CO concentrations of 500 ppm by using aqueous solutions of 5wt.% H2O2 .

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
