Performance Comparison Between Nafion 115, 117, and 1110 Membranes Operated at Freezing and Superheated Temperatures

Abstract

The U.S. Army has an ever increasing interest in using and integrating fuel cell technology into next generation combat vehicles and applications. These future vehicles and applications will require additional electrical power for combat roles such as silent watch, next-generation sensors and jamming devices, vehicle exportable power and Warfighter-carried exportable power. Fuel cells are suited for these roles which require increased power as they are more efficient than current internal combustion (IC) engines and weigh less with similar power densities.
