The all-China-made proton exchange membrane fuel cell units were created and one fuel cell stack was assembled, with all domestic material such like Chinese proton exchange membrane, Chinese catalyst, Chinese carbon paper and Chinese graphite plate, on the basis of heat shaping CCM technology and modularized fuel cell stack assembly technology. The fuel cell unit was tested and optimized. The electricity generating test and other related experiments were conducted. It's showed that the fuel cell unit's performance was stable and its power density could reach 550 mW/cm(2); the fuel cell stack's operating power had reached 200 mW/cm(2) with voltage uniformly distributed. The stack was stable and showed no obvious decrease in performance after 1800 h continuous operation. Discharged water analysis showed the all-China-made fuel cell stack's materials had good chemical stability. This new type of fuel cell stack is much cheaper in production cost, compared to the same level import fuel cell stack. Copyright (C) 2011, Hydrogen Energy Publications, LLC.
