摘要

Fuel cells (FCs) were prioritized in this study using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), a widely accepted multi-criteria decision-making technique. FC selection weighed strengths and weaknesses. This study comprehensively examined all 21 parameters impacting FC performance. There are eight different types of FCs, each providing a unique category option. Factors most influencing FC selection were metal efficiency, durability/cycle life, and cost, with global weights of 0.155, 0.133, and 0.114, respectively. PEMFCs are the preferred FC type, given their global weight of 0.186 and the selection criteria. Fifteen parameters were used as indicators in a multi-index model to analyze five PEMFC alternatives. Proton Conductivity, Activity, Water Management, and Fuel/Oxidant Purity received weights of 0.186, 0.156, 0.129, and 0.106 in PEMFC evaluation. Given the criteria, the low-temperature PEMFC is best (0.298 global weight). Improved FC performance is possible through increased FC utilization, achievable by researching LT-PEMFs.
