Résumé : |
Cette thèse se compose de quatre étapes de la piles à combustible , la première partie est la préparation d'électrodes pour la pile à combustible à membrane échangeuse de protons, cette partie consacrée a la formulation et fabrication de l’électrode en utilisant le procédé de pulvérisation (Spray) suivi par caractérisations. La deuxième partie est l’opération de l'électrode avec différents paramètres tels que : la pression, débits, la températures de humidificateurs. Troisième partie est la dégradation de l'électrode après l’opération. Finalement la modélisation de la pile à combustible à membrane échangeuse de protons. Ce travail a été réalisée au niveau du l’laboratoire MEA de l’institue des piles à combustible UKM Malaisie.
ABSTRACT : This thesis consist of four parts of the fuel cells researches, The first part is electrode preparation for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), which consist of electrode formulation and fabrication using spray method , followed by characterizations. Second part is testing the electrode with different parameters such as pressure, temperatures, follow rates, humidifiers temperatures effects. Third part is the electrode degradation after operating and the last is modeling for proton exchange membrane fuel cell. This work mainly located in Fuel Cell Institute UKM malysia, which was performed In MEA lab. |
