Abstract
The popularity of using phase change materials (PCMs) for heat storage and recovery of
metal hydrides’ reaction has grown tremendously. However, a fundamental study of the coupling of
such a system with a low-temperature PEM (polymer electrolyte membrane) fuel cell is still lacking.
This work presents a numerical investigation of the dehydrogenation performance of a metal hydride
reactor (MHR)-PCM system coupled with a fuel cell. It is shown that to supply the fuel cell with a
constant H2 flow rate, the PCM properties need to be in an optimized range.
