Development of short cut design method for CO removal system

Hydrogen-rich reformate produced by reforming primary fuels in the fuel processor system, contains significant amount of CO, which is the main culprit for the performance reduction in Proton Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) performance by CO poisoning on the Platinum catalyst at anode. Thus th...
