Increasing Efficiency by Integrating Thermolectric Materials into Fuel Cell
NWSA Academic Journals, 2019 PEM (Polymer Membrane Fuel Cell) is a technology that emitselectricity from the chemical reaction of hydrogen and oxygen gases. Thematerial is also capable of generating electricity due to the temperaturedifference applied to both surfaces. In this study, it is aimed to establish amechanism to evaluate the waste heat produced by the fuel cell by ...
