Abstract

With the huge interest in clean energy development and the sources of production, appeared the development of fuel cell technology as a clean source of energy which generates electricity releasing only water and heat and which responds the most to the climatic requirement to perpetuate our environment. Current research aims to the development and improving the performance and improving the performance as well as reducing the cost to compete with other current sources of polluting energies. A proton exchange membrane fuel cell has a lot of enticing characteristics however, in parallel to these distinctive and advantages, has also various constraint and a considerable challenges to its widespread commercialization. That we will have to overcome them to make it profitable and accessible, whose one of those challenges that requires the most effort is the thermal management technology that makes this increasingly complex. In this review we will focus on the study of the thermal management of the heat released inside the PEM fuel cell during operation and to study the thermal impact on the performance of PEMFCs. As well as the possibility to rationalize the thermal energy produced using the combined use of heat and energy cogeneration to maximize the energy produced and improves the overall efficiency of the energy system.
