소형 PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) 연료전지 시스템은 가습이 필요치 않아 상용화의 가능성이 크지만 그 제어 방법은 뚜렷하게 정립되어 있지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 소형 PEM 연료전지 시스템의 제어를 위해 이중 루프 구조의 제어방식을 정립하고 DSP (Digital Signal Processor)를 이용하여 구현한다. 일반적으로 연료전지 시스템에서 제어의 핵심 요소는 크게 공기와 수소의 공급, 스택 내부의 수분 관리, 스택의 온도 관리로 나뉜다. 별도의 가습이 없이 공랭식으로 구동되는 소형 PEM 연료전지 스택의 제어에 있어서 팬은 스택의 공기 공급과 열관리 및 수분관리를 위한 핵심적인 역할을 하며, 퍼지밸브는 스택 내부의 잉여수분을 배출한다. 제안된 방식은 이중 제어루프를 이용한 팬의 제어를 통해 팬의 과도응답을 빠르게 하여 공기의 공급 속도를 개선시키며, 연료전지 스택의 전압변화를 피드백 하여 보상해줌으로써 연료전지가 부하변동에 대해 신속한 응답 특성을 갖도록 하였다. 제안된 방법의 유용함은 60W급 소형 PEM 연료전지 시스템의 실험과 이를 이용한 노트북 컴퓨터의 구동을 통해 검증된다.

The composite membranes using Nafion as matrix and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium tetracyanoborate (EMITCB) as ion-conducting medium in replacement of water were prepared and characterized. The amount of EMITCB in Nafion varied from 30 to 50wt%. The composite membranes are characterized by ion conductivity, thermogravitational analyses (TGA) and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). The composite membranes containing EMITCB of 40wt% showed the maximum ionic conductivity which was ~0.0146 S $cm^{-1}$ at 423.15 K. It is inferred that the decrease in ionic conductivity of all the composite membranes might be due to the decomposition of a tetracyanoboric acid formed in the composite membranes. The results of SAXS indicated that the ionic clusters to conduct proton in the composite membranes were successfully formed. In accordance with the results of ionic conductivity as a function of a reciprocal temperature, SAXS showed a proportional decrease in scattering maximum $q_{max}$ as the amount of EMITCB increases in the composite membranes, which results in the increase in ionomer cluster size. The TGA showed no significant decomposition of the ionic liquid as well as the composite membranes in the range of operating temperature ($120-150^{\circ}C$) of high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cells (HTPEMFC). As a result, EMITCB is able to play an important role in transferring proton in the composite membranes at elevated temperatures with no external humidification for proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Recently, fuel cell field is receiving much attention as an environmentally friendly energy in the world. Among the various types of fuel cells, in the case of PEMFC, ions move through the membrane in the middle of the unit cell. Therefore, proper moisture is required inside the PEMFC. In the case of membrane type humidifier, flat membrane or hollow fiber membrane is mainly used. Since various parameters can change the performance, the performance investigation has to be carried out with parameters. In this study, water transport of hollow fiber membrane was investigated in terms of principle operating conditions such as temperature and flow rate.

This paper describes the design and integration of the wind-fuel cell hybrid system. The hybrid system components included a wind turbine, an electrolyzer (for generation of H2), a PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell), hydrogen storage tank and BOP (Balance of Plant) system. The energy input is entirely provided by a wind turbine. A DC-DC converter controls the power input to the electrolyzer, which produces hydrogen and oxygen form water. The hydrogen used the fuel for the PEMFC. Hydrogen may be produced and stored in high pressure tank by hydrogen gas booster system. Wind conditions are changing with time of day, season and year. So, wind power is a variable energy source. The main purpose with these WT-FC hybrid system is to store hydrogen by electrolysis of water when wind conditions are good and release the stored hydrog en to supply the fuelcell when wind is low.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) is considered as a clean and efficient energy conversion det ice for mobile and stationary applications. Anions all the components of the PEMFC, the interface between the electrolyte ,and electrode catalyst plays an important role in determining tile cell performance since the electrochemical reactions take place at the interface in contact with tile reactant gases. Therefore, to increase the interface area and obtain a high-performance PEMFC, surface of the electrolyte membrane was roughened by Ar$^{+}$ beam bombardment. The results imply that by modifying surface of the electrolyte membrane, platinum loading can be reduced significantly without performance loss. To optimize the surface treatment condition, effects of ion dose density on characteristics of the membrane/electrode interface were examined by measuring the cell performance, impedance spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammograms. Surface of the modified membranes were characterized using scanning electron microscopy and FT-IR.R.

방향족 친핵성 치환반응을 이용하여 멀티블록형 sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone)(SPAES) 공중합체를 합성하였다. 서로 다른 말단(F- 또는 OH-말단)을 가지는 친수성 및 소수성 올리고머를 합성한 후 이를 이용하여 고분자 전해질 막을 합성하였다. 각기 다른 말단이 블록공중합체의 분자량에 미치는 영향을 분석하였고, 서로 다른 친수성구조가 블록고분자의 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 합성된 멀티블록고분자는 70%이상의 습도에서 나피온 막과 비슷하거나 우수한 이온전도도를 나타내었고, 특히 SPAES 9의 경우 전습도 영역에서 SPAES 10보다 높은 이온전도도를 보였는데, 이는 친수성 블록내의 술폰산기의 부분 농도가 높아짐에 따라 친수성-소수성 간의 상분리가 발달되어 이온전도도가 향상된 것으로 보인다.

기존 고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)의 단점을 극복하기 위해 고체전해질 알카라인연료전지(SAMFC)가 근래에 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 술폰화 폴리벤지이미다졸(PBI) 유도체를 이용하여 SAMFC용 막을 제조하였다. 술폰화 폴리벤지이미다졸 유도체는 KOH에 의해 쉽게 도핑되고 도핑된 막은 높은 $OH^-$의 전도도와 기계적 강도를 보였다. 특히 sPBI-co-PBI (술폰화 PBI : 비술폰화 PBI = 75 : 25)의 경우, $90^{\circ}C$ 100% 상대습도 하에서 $2.98{\times}10^{-2}\;S/cm$의 높은 $OH^-$의 전도도를 보였다.

Crosslinked SPEEK/PVDF membrane were prepared by EB radiation method with various contents of PVDF. The prepared membranes were subjected to a comparative study of proton exchange membranes for fuel cell appreciations. The crosslinked SPEEK/PVDF membranes were characterized by using DMA, DSC and SAXS. The DMA data indicate that the ionic modulus values and cluster $T_g$ decrease with increasing PVDF content. Thus, it was suggested that the number of clustering in the crosslinked membranes can be reduced with increasing PVDF content. The DSC results were shown that the degree of crystalline of the membrane increased with increasing PVDF content. The morphology of the crosslinkied membranes was shown that with increasing PVDF content, the number of crystalline domain of the SPEEK/PVDF membranes increased but ionic aggregation of the membranes decreased. The water uptake behavior, ionic exchange capacity (IEC) and proton conductivity were decreased with increasing PVDF content. The overall findings suggest that the crosslinked membranes offer the possibility for improving the performance of PEMFC, provided that the membranes have thermal and hydration stability.
