Emission of PAHs from a Single Hydrogen-Oxygen PEM Fuel Cell: In Relation to Fuel Cell Carbon Materials

摘要

This study investigates the emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from a single hydrogen-oxygen proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell (FC) and its relation to FC carbon materials. The results show that the magnitude of specific areas or pore volumes followed the order BP2000 > XC-72R > XC-72 > Alfa for carbon blacks and multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) > single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) for CNTs.
