The studies of transient and continuous injection of CO presented here give information about poisoning and recovery processes, and recommend strategies for fuel cell operation. Pulsing study shows that up to 100 ppm CO, has no significant effect on the performance. Constant current demand experiments show an oscillatory effect due to CO electro-oxidation at high over-potentials. In continuous poisoning process, kinetic and mass transfer affect the rate of CO removal. To recover the performance for continuous fuel cell operation, we propose cyclic feeding of hydrogen containing traces of CO (i.e. supplied by a reforming process) and pure hydrogen streams. 收起
