Abstract

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are promising power sources owing to their high-power/energy densities and low pollution emissions. With the increasing demand for electricity for various low-power devices, small-scale storage of electricity encountered bottle-neck, which provides new opportunities for PEMFC. Owing to the high specific energy of PEMFCs, the utilization of this technology for small-scale applications has recently attracted significant attention. In recent years, considerable effort has been made to advance PEMFC technology and applications, especially in the small-scale PEMFC commercial market. The current review provides a holistic overview of the cutting-edge developments of small-scale PEMFCs in the transportation, stationary, and portable power generator fields. In particular, we examine current literature on the development of small-scale PEMFCs and discuss the operating complexity of PEMFC systems for different applications. Finally, we provide a forward-looking perspective on the strategies for small-scale high-specific-power PEMFC systems.

小型质子交换膜燃料电池的应用进展

质子交换膜燃料电池（PEMFC）由于其高功率/能量密度和低污染排放而成为有前途的电源。随着各种低功率设备对电力的需求不断增加，小规模的电力存储遇到了瓶颈，这为PEMFC提供了新的机遇。由于PEMFC的高比能，该技术在小规模应用中的应用最近引起了极大的关注。近年来，人们在推进PEMFC技术和应用方面做出了相当大的努力，特别是在小型PEMFC商业市场上。目前的综述全面概述了小型PEMFC在运输、固定和便携式发电机领域的前沿发展。特别是，我们研究了当前关于小型PEMFC开发的文献，并讨论了PEMFC系统在不同应用中的操作复杂性。最后，我们对小规模高比功率PEMFC系统的策略提供了前瞻性的展望。
