High Temperature PEM Fuel Cells Very similar to PEM fuel cells, but: working temperature above 100 C ; no risk of cathod ooding ; Pt anity with H2 is enhanced by the higher temperature;
Main advantages, compared to LT PEM: CO poisoning at the anode is eectively alleviated; accelerated reaction kinetics at the electrodes easier water and heat management;
