Hydrogen fuel cells are among the promising energy sources worldwide, which could accomplish cyclic production of energy and avoid the emission of green-house or contaminative byproducts. However, sulfur compounds (SCs) even at trace level (nmol/mol) are usually involved in cell construction and further H₂ production, which would cause degradation of the catalysts and shorten the lifetime of the fuel cells. Moreover, the highly reactive SCs could cause varied species and concentrations of them in complex matrices, so online rather than offline analysis of SCs in H₂ would be preferred. In this context, we developed a new system combining online cryogenic preconcentration of nine SCs and subsequent determination by GC-SCD (sulfur chemiluminescent detector), with the correlation coefficients of the calibration curves higher than 0.999, calculated limits of detection no higher than 0.050 nmol/mol, analytical time around 30 min per sample, and satisfactory precision and accuracy (RSD < 5% and SD < 15%). The analytical performance was much better than or at least comparable to the previously reported and the developed system was successfully applied for real sample analysis.
