摘要:
A method for operating a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell at temperatures below the freezing point of water and an apparatus thereof are provided to prevent damage and performance degradation of the membrane-electrode assemblies. Non-humidified gas flows for several seconds before temperature of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell falls below the freezing temperature of water when operation of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell stops. Simultaneously, anode of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is filled with a solution having a low freezing point to prevent the temperature of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell falling below the freezing point of water due to the lower ambient temperature in the winter. When the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell is restarted, the cell performance is not degraded reflecting that the present invention stably preserves the fuel cell.

A manufacturing method of Membrane-Electrode-Gasket Assemblies (MEGAs) used for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) is described wherein a polymer electrolyte membrane is formed directly on a electrode. A typical PEFC is constructed by assembling membrane-electrode assembly (MEA), gaskets, and separators. According to the invented method, PEFC is fabricated by assembling separators and MEGA, into which MEA and a gasket are integrated. Compared to the conventional MEA-gasket assemblies, MEGAs are easy to handle and can be mass-produced via a manufacturing process in a series. Moreover, employing MEGAs improves PEFC performance since the membrane thickness of MEGAs is lower than that of the conventional MEA-gasket assemblies.
