Fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, …)
Thermochemical conversion with carbon sequestration
H2
Electricity generated from renewables (Solar, wind, hydro)
Electrolysis (50-85% efficient)
Advanced methods • Algae H2 production • Photo-electrochemical water splitting
Current production (without CO2 sequestration): 48% from natural gas, 30% from oil, 18% from coal, 4% from electrolysis
Usage: Half for producing ammonia to be used for fertilizers; remaining for petroleum refining 3

The hydrogen economy
(H2 as transportation fuel)
Obstacles
• Storage: Low energy density; need compressed or liquid H2
– Compressing from 300oK, 1 bar to 350 bar, ideal compressor work = 16% of LHV; practical energy required upwards of 35% of LHV
– Liquefaction (20oK, 1 bar LH2) work required is upwards of 60% of LHV*
5.6 kg of H2 ~700 MJ
Fuel tank capacity of 50 kg carries ~2200 MJ

CcH2: cryogenic compressed LH2

• Infra structure: Supply, safety, …

History of Fuel Cell
• Sir William Grove demonstrated the first fuel cell in 1839 (H2 – O2 system)
• Substantial activities in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s – Theoretically basis established
Nerst, Haber, Ostwald and others
• Development of Ion Exchange Membrane for application in the Gemini spacecraft in the 1950/1960 – W.T. Grubb (US Patent 2,913,511, 1959)
• Development of fuel cell for automotive use (1960s to present)

The Grove Cell (1839)
• Important insights to fuel cell operation
– H2-O2 system (the most efficient and the only practical system so far)
– Platinum electrodes (role of catalyst)
– recognize the importance of the coexistence of reactants, electrodes and electrolyte

The coal/air cell
Wilhelm Ostwald (1894)
“The way in which the greatest of all industrial problems – that of providing cheap energy – is to be solved, must be found by electrochemistry”
Status at 1933
• Low efficiency and contamination of electrodes doomed direct coal conversion
The 1896 W.W.Jacques large carbon cell (30KW)

Types of fuel cell
• Classification by fuel – Direct conversion
Hydrogen/air (pre-dominant) Methanol/air (under development)
– Indirect conversion
reform hydrocarbon fuels to hydrogen first
• Classification by charge carrier in electrolyte
H+, O2- (important difference in terms of product disposal)
11
Types of fuel cell (cont.)
• By electrolyte
– Solid oxides: ~1000oC – Carbonates: ~600oC
High temperature fuel cells are more tolerant of CO and other deactivating agents
– H3PO4: ~200oC – Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM): ~80oC
Automotive application

PEM
Nafion (a DuPont product)
Tetrafluoroethylene based copolymer
5/13/2014
Sulfonic acid group supplies the
proton
Function:
• As electrolyte (provide charge and material carrier) • As separator for the fuel and oxidant
Retail ~$300/m2
• PEM must be hydrated properly
If dry, resistance increase; eventually crack and reactants leak through
Excess water formation: flood electrodes; prevent reactants from
reaching electrode

The Hydrogen problem:
Fundamentally H2 is the only feasible fuel in the foreseeable future
• Strictly, hydrogen is not a “fuel”, but an energy storage medium – Difficulty in hydrogen storage – Difficulty in hydrogen supply infra structure
• Hydrogen from fossil fuel is not an efficient energy option
• Environmental resistance for nuclear and hydroelectric options

Note: HC to H2/CO process is exothermic;

energy loss is similar when it is made from fossil fuel)
Current best reformer efficiency is ~70%
Problems:
CO poisoning of anode
Sulfur poisoning
Anode poisoning requires S<1ppm
