Proton Değişim Membranlı (Proton Exchange Membrane, PEM) yakıt hücresi, geniş potansiyel uygulamaları olan yeni bir enerji cihazıdır. Bu çalışma, Yeşil Sürdürülebilir Bilim ve Teknoloji alanında PEM yakıt hücresi teknolojisinin mevcut durumunu ve gelişimini sunmaktadır. Bibliometrix R paketi ve Biblioshiny arayüzü kullanılarak WoS veri tabanında 2002-2024 yılları arasında yayımlanan 786 belgenin bibliyometrik analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. 2023'te en yüksek bilimsel üretim (149 belge) ve 2005'te en yüksek yıllık alıntı oranı (6,4) kaydedilmiştir. Yenilenebilir Enerji, yayın (232) ve h-indeksi (46) açısından lider dergidir. Çin en fazla üretime sahip (1099) ve en çok iş birliği yapan ülke, Mısır ise en çok alıntı yapılan ülkedir. Tianjin Üniversitesi en fazla makale üreten kurumdur. Sopian K’nin (2006) çalışması en fazla küresel alıntıya sahipken, Atyabi SA’nın (2019) çalışması en çok yerel olarak alıntılanandır. “Performans” en yaygın kullanılan anahtar kelimedir. 2024'te “Elektrik” en çok tartışılan konudur. “Optimizasyon, Tasarım ve Sistem” konuları, araştırmalarda merkezi temalar olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu bulgular, PEM yakıt hücresi teknolojisindeki metodolojik ve teknolojik eğilimleri ortaya koyarak gelecekteki araştırmalara yön vermeyi amaçlamaktadır.

PEM Fuel Cells in Green Sustainable Science and Technology: A Bibliometric Analysis

Öz

The Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cell is an emerging energy technology with broad application potential. This study presents the current status and development of PEM fuel cell technology in the field of Green Sustainable Science and Technology. A bibliometric analysis of 786 documents published in the WoS database between 2002 and 2024 was conducted using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny interface. The peak scientific output (149 documents) occurred in 2023, while the highest annual citation rate (6,4) was observed in 2005. Renewable Energy is the leading journal in terms of publications (232) and h-index (46). China has the highest scientific output (1099) and leads in international collaborations, while Egypt has the highest citation impact. Tianjin University is the most prolific institution in terms of publications. The study by Sopian K (2006) receives the highest number of global citations, while the work by Atyabi SA (2019) is the most locally cited. “Performance” is the most frequently used keyword. “Electricity” is the most extensively discussed topic in 2024. The topics of “Optimization, Design and System” emerge as key research themes. These findings aim to guide future research by revealing methodological and technological trends in PEM fuel cell technology.
