Abstract:
The data collected in this article is based on a performance test of a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC). The behavior the different parameters of a PEFC is analyzed considering different aspects relative to the inlet gases temperatures. The fuel cell was evaluated by means of a current sweep at different percentages of relative humidity between the feed gas and the cell. The relative humidity values were established by means of the temperature setting. The data presented show the experimental response of the cell in real time, which can be used to perform a depth analysis or they can be a starting point for material and performance investigation. In addition, charts presenting the voltage and power density behavior as a function of the volumetric flows of the anode (H2) as well as cathode (O2). The data presented in this article are originally from our research performed in [1].
