CO poisoning is a major issue for proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) when reformate gas is used as a fuel, especially at low temperatures (<80 °C). The performance of a PEMFC is investigated when subject to CO poisoning under different operation conditions and a simplified model is here...
