  • Patent number: 8277995
    Abstract: A fuel cell power generation system is disclosed. The fuel cell power generation system in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: a stack, which produces electrical energy by reacting hydrogen with oxygen and in which the hydrogen is supplied as fuel and the oxygen is in the air; a hydrogen tank, which supplies fuel comprising hydrogen to the stack; and a heat transfer tape, which transfers heat generated from the stack to the hydrogen tank. The fuel cell power generation system can improve the efficiency of supplying hydrogen by supplying waste heat generated from the stack to the hydrogen tank through the use of the heat transfer tape without a heat supplying device and be applied to a mobile device due to the reduced volume of the fuel cell power generation system.

  • Publication number: 20100009231
    Abstract: A stack and a fuel cell power generation system equipped with the stack are disclosed. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the stack, which generates electrical energy by reacting hydrogen with oxygen and in which the hydrogen is supplied as a fuel and the oxygen is in the air, includes: a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which includes an electrolyte membrane and a pair of electrodes coupled to either surface of the electrolyte membrane; and a pair of current collectors, which is formed on either surface of the membrane electrode assembly, in which the current collector includes: an insulating polymer film; and a conductive adhesive layer, which is interposed between the insulating polymer film and the membrane electrode assembly.

  • Publication number: 20090317673
    Abstract: A current collector, a method of manufacturing the current collector, a fuel cell stack, and a fuel cell power generation system are disclosed. The current collector for collecting an electric current generated in a fuel cell can include: a substrate; a collector pattern, which contains a conductive material, formed on one side of the substrate; and a corrosion-resistant metal layer, which is coated over all of the surfaces of the collector pattern, including the surface facing the substrate. This current collector can be utilized to prevent corrosion during the operation of the fuel cell, as well as to increase the life span of the fuel cell, without forming the entire configuration with an expensive corrosion-resistant metal.
