摘要: In this paper, 550 h (500 continuous and 50 intermittent) high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC, phosphoric acid-doped polybenzimidazole system, H3PO4/PBI) life test was performed without humidification at 150 degrees C; constant current (at 640 mA cm(-2)) performance polarization curves were recorded. Electrochemical physical characterizations applied to investigate the degradation of electrode assembly (MEA). The results showed that started reduce with a rate 0.18 mV h(-1) after about 90 activation. Surface area loss cathode platinum due agglomeration detected by cyclic voltammetry transmission electron microscopy. A slight increase internal resistance single H3PO4 leaching found electrochemical impedance spectroscopy energy dispersive X-ray analysis. H-2 permeability MEA increased during last intermittent because appearing cracks, linear sweep scanning These suggested catalyst from layers contributed test, mechanical properties H3PO4/PBI impacted badly lifetime cell.
