Methods to increase travel distance of mine electric locomotive from one charging at the expense of fuel cells with proton-exchange membrane and to improve efficiency of the process as a result of using selective composite materials have been considered. It has been demonstrated that the use of activated natural materials will make it possible to increase membrane conductance up to 3.6·10−2Cm·cm−1; that will allow increasing energy-efficiency of fuel cells for their operation in terms of mine electric locomotives.
