Analysis of electrocatalyst degradation in PEMFC caused by cell reversal during fuel starvation
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The damage caused by cell reversal during proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) operation with fuel starvation was investigated by a single cell experiment. The samples from degraded membrane–electrode assemblies (MEAs) were characterized. Chemical analysis of the anode catalyst layer of MEA samples by energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) clearly showed ruthenium dissolution from the anode catalyst particles. Severe ruthenium loss was observed especially in the fuel outlet region. A reduced carbon monoxide (CO) tolerance was found by CO stripping voltammetry and measurement of deteriorated the fuel cell performance. Surface area loss of the cathode platinum by sintering was also detected by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis and cyclic voltammetry.
