Fuel cells for mobile applications, status, requirements and future applications potential

摘要

The recent progress of fuel cell development towards highly efficient and clean energy conversion allows increasing applications in the wide field of on-board electricity generation and alternative drive systems. Basic requirements and the status of proton exchange membrane (PeM) fuel cell development and its progress for Hydrogen/air operation are analyzed. First car applications have demonstrated the high overall fuel efficiency and Zero emission behavior of mobile fuel cell system.
