Experimental and theoretical investigations of transport processes in polymer electrolyte fuel cells

加拿大目前的化石燃料运输业消耗了近30%的初级能源。聚合物电解质燃料电池（PEFCs）和电池是替代当前交通能源系统的可行选择。氢气是由聚合物电解质电解槽（PEE）中的水分解产生的，利用可再生能源的电力，可以用于pefc为车辆提供动力。pefc只产生水蒸气，从而消除了污染和温室气体排放。PEFC汽车已经展示了客户期望的所有属性，例如快速启动和加油，长距离和耐用性。提高PEE和PEFC汽车市场渗透率的先决条件是生产成本的降低以及性能和耐用性的提高。

Canada’s current fossil fuelled transportation sector consumes nearly 30% of our primary energy. Polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) and batteries present viable alternatives to replace the current transportation energy system. Hydrogen, produced by water splitting in a polymer electrolyte electrolyzer (PEE) using electricity from renewable energy sources, could be used in PEFCs to power a vehicle. PEFCs produce only water vapor thereby eliminating pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. PEFC vehicles have demonstrated all the attributes that customers expect such as quick start-up and refuelling, long range, and durability. Prerequisites for an increase in market penetration of PEE, and PEFC vehicles, are production cost reductions as well as performance and durability improvements.
