    Abstract: Disclosed are a method for manufacturing a polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells in which a plurality of porous reinforcement films and ionomer layers are continuously disposed or stacked, and a polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells manufactured thereby. The polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells includes the porous reinforcement films, thus having excellent mechanical stiffness and improved physical durability. Further, the polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells includes an ionomer layer including a catalyst for decomposing peroxide configured to block gas crossover and may thus minimize performance degradation due to gas crossover and prevent an electrical short, and the polymer electrolyte membrane for fuel cells makes it easy to adjust the position of the ionomer layer in the electrolyte membrane in the thickness direction and may thus effectively mitigate gas crossover.

    Abstract: A system for activating a fuel cell includes a flow meter for measuring the amount of water discharged from an outlet of the air electrode and an outlet of the fuel electrode; a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure at the respective outlets; and a back pressure regulator receiving flow values measured by the flow meters and pressure values measured by the pressure sensors, which are fed back from a controller, and regulating a pressure difference (ΔP=PCathode−PAnode) to be a value greater than 0. With the system, the activation time of a fuel cell and the amount of hydrogen used for the activation can be reduced, thus improving the productivity and manufacturing cost.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a fuel cell stack with enhanced freeze-thaw durability. In particular, the fuel cell stack includes a gas diffusion layer between a membrane-electrode assembly and a bipolar plate. The gas diffusion layer has a structure that reduces contact resistance in a fuel cell and is cut at a certain angle such that the machine direction (high stiffness direction) of GDL roll is not in parallel with the major flow field direction of the bipolar plate, resulting in an increased GDL stiffness in a width direction perpendicular to a major flow field direction of a bipolar plate.

    Abstract: An apparatus and a method for detecting leakage in a hydrogen tank of a hydrogen fuel cell vehicle are provided. Particularly, leakage is detected due to failure of an airtight seal of a solenoid valve in a hydrogen tank based on a change of the sensing value of a high pressure sensor which represents a hydrogen tank pressure during a process of performing a wakeup operation at the time of key-off of a vehicle.
