Investigation and technical utilisation of spatio-temporal patterns during the electrochemical preferential oxidation of CO from H2/CO-mixtures

本项目的主题是在聚合物电解质膜燃料电池中从H2/CO混合物中电化学优先氧化CO的过程中复杂的时空模式的研究和技术利用。这种系统可用于从富氢气体混合物中深度去除CO，用于低温燃料电池中的后续转化。然而，一个有意义的技术应用需要对系统的复杂动力学有透彻的理解。因此，本项目旨在对系统进行系统的实验表征和分析。随后，应提出相应设备的适当设计和操作的建议。

Subject of the present project is the investigation and technical utilisation of complex spatio-temporal patterns during the electrochemical preferential oxidation of CO from H2/CO-mixtures in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells. Such a system can be used for deep CO removal from hydrogen-rich gas mixtures for a subsequent conversion in low-temperature fuel cells. However, a meaningful technical utilisation requires a thorough understanding of the complex dynamics of the system. Therefore, this project aims at a systematic experimental characterisation and analysis of the system. Subsequently, suggestions for a suitable design and operation of a corresponding apparatus should be made.
