质子交换膜燃料电池应用现状及分析

Development and analysis of proton exchange membrane fuel cell applications

质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)是目前应用最广泛的燃料电池,但是受限于其性能、寿命及成本,尚未实现商业化。本文综述了PEMFC的发展现状及其性能、寿命以及成本方面的优劣,分析了PEMFC在便携式电源、移动式电源及固定式发电等领域的应用现状及存在的问题。针对我国目前的氢能设施和经济发展现状,PEMFC在固定式发电领域的应用或成为商业化的突破点,特别是作为备用电源应用于移动通信、数据中心等场合。

Currently,proton exchange membrane fuel cells（PEMFC）are the most widely used fuel cell technology.However,it has not commercialized yet due to its limitation to the PEMFC performance,life and cost.This paper reviews the current development status of the PEMFC technology,especially the PEMFC＇s performance,life and cost.Moreover,the application and existing problems of the PEMFC in such field as portable power,mobile power and stationary power generation are also analyzed.In view of the hydrogen facilities and economic development status in China,it points out that applying the PEMFC in stationary power generation may become a breakthrough point for commercialization,especially in mobile communications and data centers by using the PEMFC as a backup power source.
