Durability has been considered a fundamental issue for commercialization of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Especially, recent developments have tended to focus on the PEMFC operating at high temperature range (>120℃) and low relative humidity (<40% RH) because of simplified system and high efficiency. In this study, advanced protocols for durability test based on degradation of high temperature PEMFC are developed, which include accelerated life time (ALT) test to save the time as well as cost. The ALT durability test is compared with the general constant (0.6V) mode test to investigate the different degradation behavior. The electrochemical analyses of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) were confirmed by polarization curve and impedance spectroscopy. *
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
