Fuel of proton exchange membrane fuel cell(PEMFC) mostly comes from reformate contains CO which will poison the fuel cell electrocatalyst.The effect of CO on the performance of PEMFC was studied in this paper.The results of the experiment show that when CO is fed in PEMFC,the cell voltage will be decreased violently,then it will become steady with some vibration.The poison will become more serious with higher CO content and weaker at higher temperature.The adsorption of CO on the electrocatalyst is reversible. The PtRu electrocatalyst is more suitable for the electrocatalysis of CO/H 2 than Pt electrocatalyst.

A direct methanol fuel cell with 9cm 2 active area consists of Pt_Ru/C anode,Pt/C cathode and Nafion 115 membrane.The effect of operating conditions:methanol solution concentration,oxygen pressure and cell temperature on the cell performances was investigated.The results show that performance of single cell was enhanced by increasing oxygen pressure and cell temperature,and a maximum power density 75 mW/cm 2 was obtained in the range of 250_300 mA/cm 2 current density,0.2 MPa oxygen pressure,1.0 mol/L methanol concentration and 75 ℃ cell temperature.When cell operating at room temperature,a relatively low,but a stable performance of cell was also observed.
