Durability degradation mechanism and consistency analysis for proton exchange membrane fuel cell stack

Bing Li et al.

Summary: The durability of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack is crucial for commercial applications. This study analyzed the degradation mechanism and performance consistency of a 3-cell PEMFC stack after a 1600-hour durability test. The voltage degradation rates were found to be 12.2% and 52.2 uV h(-1) at a current density of 1000 mA cm(-2). The performance degradation was attributed to catalyst loss and agglomeration, as well as structural damage to the membrane and catalyst layer. The findings have great potential for promoting the development of PEMFC stacks in automotive applications.

Hong Chen et al.

Summary: Understanding the degradation mechanism and accurately predicting the remaining useful life of proton exchange membrane fuel cells is crucial for improving durability and reducing operation costs. Through a study on the lifetime of a fuel cell, it was found that catalyst degradation was the main factor contributing to voltage degradation, with membrane degradation and increase in MEA mass transfer resistance playing increasingly significant roles in the latter stage of the lifetime. The influence of evolutions to the internal resistance was determined to be negligible.
