Abstract
The electrochemical compression of hydrogen is well known since years. But new developments of the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel c ells make it possible to realize the electrochemical compression in a PEM-cell with high efficiency. A new cell design of PEM-cells for oper ation with a high pressure difference between anode side and cathode s ide was developed. The purification of hydrogen from carbon monoxide o f the reformer gas can be integrated in the hydrogen compressor cell. Operation parameters are presented.
