The effect of chloride as an air impurity and as a catalyst contaminant on the performance and durability of polybenzimidazole (PBI)-based high temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) was studied. The ion chromatographic analysis reveals the existence of chloride contaminations in

Pinholes in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of a fuel cell can lead to premature fuel cell failure. The main causes for pinhole formation are contaminant particles, non-uniform stress distribution, and membrane corrosion. In this paper fuel cell performance is compared before and after piercin
Comparative studies of mechanical and electrochemical properties of Nafion ยฎ -and sulfonated polyetheretherketone polymer-type membranes are carried out under severe fuel cell conditions required by industrials, within stationary and cycling electric load profiles. These membranes are proposed to be
## Abstract To enable a large penetration of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) on the market, the durability of these systems must be improved. This work aims at evaluating the durability of carbon aerogels used as cathode catalyst support and at comparing it with the durability of a comm
The compression induced by the assembly of proton-exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells causes partial deformation of the gas-diffusion layers (GDLs) and affects the characteristics of the porous media and, consequently, influences the performance of PEM fuel cells. The objective of the present study i
