초록

고분자전해질 연료전지에 유입되는 공기가 톨루엔에 오염되었을 때 전지 성능에 미치는 영향을 여러 톨루엔 농도와 운전 조건에서 연구하였다. 그리고 청정한 공기에 의한 전지 성능 회복과 활성탄 흡착에 의한 공기 중 톨루엔의 제거에 대해서도 연구하였다. 본 연구에서 실험한 톨루엔의 농도 범위는 0.1~5.0 ppm이었고 전지 성능감소와 회복은 일정전류에서 전압변화 측정법과 전기화학적 임피던스 측정법(EIS)에 의해 측정하였다. KOH 첨착활성탄의 톨루엔 흡착용량은 등온흡착곡선으로 구했다. 톨루엔 농도가 증가할수록, 전류밀도가 증가할수록, 공기유량이 증가할수록 톨루엔 오염에 의한 성능감소가 심했다. 그러나 상대습도가 증가할수록 톨루엔 오염에 의한 성능감소는 작았다. 가습된 청정 공기 중의 산소와 수분에 의한 톨루엔의 산화에 의해 전지의 성능이 회복되었다. 톨루엔의 백금 표면 흡착에 의한 전하 전달 저항 증가가 전지 성능을 주로 감소시킴을 EIS가 보였다. 첨착활성탄의 톨루엔 흡착 용량은 KOH 첨착량이 증가할수록 감소하였다.

The contamination effect of toluene in the airstream on PEM fuel cell performance was studied with various toluene concentration under different operation conditions. And the recovery of the cell performance by applying clean air and the removal of toluene in the air by adsorption of active carbon were investigated. The toluene concentration range used in the experiments was from 0.1 ppm to 5.0 ppm. The performance degradation and recovery were measured by constant-current discharging and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). Toluene adsorption capacity of KOH impregnated active carbon was obtained from the adsorption isotherm curve. The severity of the contamination increased with increasing toluene concentration, current density and air stoichiometry, but decrease with increasing relative humidity. The cell performance was recovered by toluene oxidation with oxygen and water in humidified neat air. EIS showed that the increase of charge transfer resistance due to toluene adsorption on Pt surface mainly reduced the performance of PEMFC. Toluene adsorption capacity of active carbon decreased as KOH weight increased in KOH impregnated active carbon.
