Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are an auspicious energy conversion technology with the potential to address rising energy demands while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The stack’s performance, durability, and economy scale are greatly influenced by the materials used for the PEMFC, viz., the membrane electrocatalyst assembly (MEA) and bipolar flow plates (BPPs). Despite extensive study, carbon-based materials have outstanding physicochemical, electrical, and structural attributes crucial to stack performance, making them an excellent choice for PEMFC manufacturers. Carbon materials substantially impact the cost, performance, and durability of PEMFCs since they are prevalently sought for and widely employed in the construction of BPPs and gas diffusion layers (GDLs)) and in electrocatalysts as a support material. Consequently, it is essential to assemble a review that centers on utilizing such material potential, focusing on its research development, applications, problems, and future possibilities. The prime focus of this assessment is to offer a clear understanding of the potential roles of carbon and its allotropes in PEMFC applications. Consequently, this article comprehensively evaluates the applicability, functionality, recent advancements, and ambiguous concerns associated with carbonbased materials in PEMFCs.

In this study, a bipolar visible light responsive photocatalytic fuel cell (PFC) was constructed by loading a Z-scheme g-C3N4/ carbon black/BiOBr and a Ti3C2/ MoS2 Schottky heterojunction on the carbon brush to prepare the photoanode and photocathode, respectively. It greatly improved the electron transfer and achieved efficient degradation of organic pollutants such as antibiotics and dyes simultaneously in two chambers of the PFC system. The Z-scheme g-C3N4/carbon black/BiOBr formed by adding highly conductive carbon black to g-C3N4/BiOBr not only effectively separates the photogenerated carriers, but also simultaneously retains the high reduction of the conduction band of g-C3N4 and the high oxidation of the valence band of BiOBr, improving the photocatalytic performance. The exceptional performance of Ti3C2/ MoS2 Schottky heterojunction originated from the superior electrical conductivity of Ti3C2 MXene, which facilitated the separation of photogenerated electron–hole pairs. Meanwhile, the synergistic effect of the two photoelectrodes further improved the photocatalytic performance of the PFC system, with degradation rates of 90.9% and 99.9% for 50 mg L− 1 tetracycline hydrochloride (TCH) and 50 mg L− 1 rhodamine-B (RhB), respectively, within 180 min. In addition, it was found that the PFC also exhibited excellent pollutant degradation rates under dark conditions (79.7%, TCH and 97.9%, RhB). This novel pollutant degradation system is expected to provide a new idea for efficient degradation of multiple pollutant simultaneously even in the dark.

이산화탄소 배출이 없는 고분자 전해질 막 연료전지(polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, PEMFC)는 수송용, 발전용 시스템에 적용 가능한 친환경 에너지 변환장치이다. PEMFC의 주요 구성품 중 하나인 고분자 전해질 막(polymer electrolyte membrane, PEM)은 구동시간 동안의 높은 수소 이온 전도도와 물리화학적 안정성 갖춘 과불소화계 고분자 (perfluorinated sulfonic acid, PFSA) 기반 PEM (PFSA-PEM)이 상용화 되어있다. 하지만 PFSA-PEM의 단점으로 지적되는 낮은 유리전이온도와 높은 기체 투과도의 보완이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 총설에서는 PFSA-PEM의 성능 향상 및 단점 보완 을 위해 1) PFSA의 측쇄부 길이를 조절함으로써 이온교환용량의 증가와 고분자의 결정성을 증가시켜 PFSA-PEM의 능력을 향상시킨 연구와 2) 유/무기 첨가제를 도입하여 수소 이온 전도도 및 물리적 안정성을 향상시키는 복합 막 연구 및 3) 다공성 지지체를 도입하여 PEM의 두께를 효과적으로 감소시켜 막 저항을 효과적으로 줄이고 내구성을 큰 폭으로 개선한 다공-충진 막에 관한 연구를 소개하고자 한다.

In this paper, we break away from the method of removing and inspecting the GDI injector, measure the pressure change of the fuel rail pressure sensor when driving the GDI injector of a vehicle equipped with the GDI fuel system, and compare the results. analyzed.There was a pressure change in the fuel rail pressure sensor from the general drive GDI injector. There was no pressure change in the fuel rail pressure sensor when driving the GDI injector without injecting fuel. You can check the fuel injection status in the pressure change data of the fuel rail pressure sensor without removal the GDI injector.
