The proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) was first developed by General Electric (GE) for NASA (NASA) in the 1960s, which has the advantage of other fuel cells, and does not flow. , Corrosive electrolytes, simple structure.Initially, the battery stack life is very short due to poor electrolyte membrane. In 1964, General Electric has developed a new film, crosslinking with a pair of polyethylene vinylbenzene and a fluorocarbon substrate, so that the membrane has a life of 500h. The 1 kW PEMFC developed by General Electric Co., serves as a auxiliary power supply.
In the mid-1960s, General Electric Company Test Du Pont's Nafion film, PEMFC's advantages increased long-lived and low maintenance. 1968 General Electric is intended to use the Nafion membrane for satellite launch test. At that time, NASA had chosen AFCs for Apollo programs, which allowed PEMFC in space for 20 years.
By 1984, in addition to the small amount of work in the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LOSL), the PEMFC was basically stagnant. In 1983, the Canadian Ministry of National Defense (DND) realized that PEM FC may meet the needs of the army and the future of energy. In 1984, the Ballard Company began research to develop PEM FC with the funding of the Canadian Ministry of Defense. Thereafter, in particular, it was rapidly developed in PEM-FC after entering the 1990s. Daimler-Benz Mercedes-Benz Automobile has developed four generations of PEMFC power vehicles.
Toyota launched a full-fuel cell power FCEV car in 1997. In 2001, the fifth-generation FCHV fuel cell car was introduced. The PEM FC power station power has reached 250KWA. In May 2002, General Company demonstrated the world's first "fuel cell car" with gasoline hydrogen production in the world, model CHEVROLETS-10, in 2008-2010 Chevrolets-10 puts the market.
PEMFC is also active in the development and application of portable power, miniature electrical power, and submarine power supplies.
