Abstract

We first investigated the effect of partial pressure of hydrogen (H₂) on the performance of polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) by controlling the ratio of hydrogen and nitrogen (N₂). The cell performance with Pt/C anode was significantly decreased with reduction of the partial pressure of H₂ in the presence of carbon monoxide (CO), while the performance variation was negligible in the absence of CO. Severe CO poisoning on Pt/C electrode at low partial pressure of H₂ might be attributed to the hindering effect by N₂ and CO. On the other hand, PtRu/C anode showed consistent power performance even at low partial pressure of H₂.
