Understanding the Acid-Alkaline Bipolar Membrane Electrolyte for Fuel Cell Applications

Abstract

One of the challenges confronting fuel cell technologies is their integration into a practical, robust system. The Balance of Plant (BoP) components needed to manage the fuel and oxidant, humidification and/or water removal, and thermal loads are often cumbersome to integrate. These issues can present unique requirements and are persistent across most types of fuel cell applications (e.g., wearable and portable, transportation, backup and primary power, etc.) and fuel cell types (e.g., polymer electrolyte, direct methanol, reformed methanol, solid oxide, and so forth).
