Enhancement of Pem Fuel Cell Performance at Higher Temperatures and Lower Humidities by High Performance Membrane Electrode Assembly Based on Nafion/Zeolite Membrane
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2015) Devrim, Yilser; Albostan, Ayhan
This work reports the preparation of Nafion/zeolite composite membranes with different zeolite loading. The structure of the Nafion/zeolite composite membranes are investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The introduction of zeolite particles into the Nafion matrix helps to improve the water uptake, proton conductivity and thermal stability of the nanocomposite membranes compared to the virgin Nafion membrane. The SEM analyses have proved the uniform and homogeneous distribution of zeolite in composite membranes. The composite membranes are tested in a single PEMFC with a 5 cm(2) active area operating at the temperature range of 75-120 degrees C and in humidified under 50% relative humidity (RH) and fully humidified conditions. Single PEMFC tests show that Nafion/zeolite composite membrane is more stable and also performed better than virgin Nafion membrane at low humidity condition. The results indicate the Nafion/zeolite composite membranes could be utilized as the proton exchange membranes for PEMFC. Copyright (C) 2015, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.

Graphene Based Catalyst Supports for High Temperature Pem Fuel Cell Application
(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2018) Devrim, Yilser; Arica, Elif Damla; Albostan, Ayhan
In this study, the effect of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) and graphene oxide (GO) based carbon supports on polybenzimidazole (PBI) based high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HT-PEMFCs) performances were investigated. Pt/GNP and Pt/GO catalysts were synthesized by microwave assisted chemical reduction support. X-ray diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Brauner, Emmet and Teller (BET) analysis and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) were used to investigate the microstructure and morphology of the as-prepared catalysts. The electrochemical surface area (ESA) was studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The results showed deposition of smaller Pt nanoparticles with uniform distribution and higher ECSA for Pt/GNP compared to Pt/GO. The Pt/GNP and Pt/GO catalysts were tested in 25 cm(2) active area single HT-PEMFC with H-2/air at 160 degrees C without humidification. Performance evaluation in HT-PEMFC shows current densities of 0.28, 0.17 and 0.22 A/cm(2) for the Pt/GNP, Pt/C and Pt/GO catalysts based MEAs at 160 degrees C, respectively. The maximum power density was obtained for MEA prepared by Pt/GNP catalyst with H-2/Air dry reactant gases as 0.34, 0.40 and 0.46 W/cm(2) at 160 degrees C, 175 degrees C and 190 degrees C, respectively. Graphene based catalyst supports exhibits an enhanced HT-PEMFC performance in both low and high current density regions. The results indicate the graphene catalyst support could be utilized as the catalyst support for HT-PEMFC application. (C) 2018 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
