Behavior of current distribution evolution under reactant starvation conditions based on a single polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) with triple-serpentine flow field: An experimental study

Zhifeng Xia et al.

Summary: In this study, a 25 cm2 segmented PEMFC engine was assembled to investigate reactant starvation phenomenon, and contour maps of current distribution were used to analyze the mechanism. The experimental results showed that the current distribution had high-quality homogeneity with the tripleserpentine configuration even under starvation conditions. Air starvation experiments indicated the migration of the lowest current region and a variation in standard deviation with increasing stoichiometry. It was concluded that ORR played a dominant role in the specific current distribution, and this study provided insights for improving the lifespan and potential commercialization of PEMFC engines.

Estimating global production and supply costs for green hydrogen and hydrogen-based green energy commodities

Michael Moritz et al.

Summary: Green energy commodities, such as hydrogen, are crucial in decarbonizing the global energy system. This study examines the production costs and potentials of hydrogen-based energy commodities in various countries, highlighting the dominance of production costs for liquid or easily liquefiable commodities and transport costs for gaseous commodities. Importing green ammonia could be a cost-effective option for Germany, with Norway being the cheapest supplier. The existence of a pan-European hydrogen pipeline grid could make ammonia production using imported hydrogen from Spain a viable option.

A systemic review of hydrogen supply chain in energy transition

Haoming Ma et al.

Summary: This paper reviews the development of the hydrogen industry from the perspectives of production, transportation and storage, and sustainable economic development. The challenges and outlooks in these areas are summarized. It is found that green hydrogen needs to reduce its cost by 75% to achieve economic feasibility, while blue hydrogen dominates the current supply. Investigation on the effects of embrittlement, contamination, and flammability is required in the midstream sector. In the downstream utilization, blue hydrogen will be used in the short-term, but green hydrogen is expected to dominate the market in the long run due to its high energy intensity and zero carbon intensity.
