Abstract:	A high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell is considered a solution to improve the cell performance under CO-contained hydrogen and to simplify the gas purification process of a reformate fuel cell system. In this study, polybenzimidazole-based phosphoric acid-doped fuel cells are studied under simulated reformate gases of different H-2, N-2 and CO concentrations. The experimental results show that the dilution effect of N-2 has a minor impact on the cell performance in absence of CO. However, the CO poisoning increases the charge transfer resistance and leads to a substantial performance drop. This work also reveals that increasing the operating temperature can effectively improve the CO tolerance by suppressing the Pt-CO binding reaction. In addition, the CO poisoning effect becomes more significant in diluted H-2. As a result, the CO concentration should be maintained lower than a critical level to prevent a high CO coverage on the catalyst which leads to a noteworthy voltage shut-down, especially in highly diluted H-2.
