The impact of using a proton exchange membrane on alkaline fuel cell performance/El impacto de la utilización de una membrana de intercambio de protones en el rendimiento de pila de combustible alcalina

A hydrogen fuel cell was designed in the laboratory, operating in potentiostatic mode (1 V, 1.23 V, 1.5 V and 5 V), obtaining characteristic parameters that allow improving hydrogen production by means of electrolysis. For this, a proton exchange membrane, Nafion 117, was adapted, which was subjecte...

Description
Summary:A hydrogen fuel cell was designed in the laboratory, operating in potentiostatic mode (1 V, 1.23 V, 1.5 V and 5 V), obtaining characteristic parameters that allow improving hydrogen production by means of electrolysis. For this, a proton exchange membrane, Nafion 117, was adapted, which was subjected to an activation pretreatment, allowing us to compare its performance and function. Values for current density, degree of conversion, mass transfer coefficient and hydrogen flow generated in an instant (t) were obtained.
