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

An investigation of several electrode parameters on performance of an alkaline membrane fuel cell is described. The studied parameters were: ionomer content, anode and cathode catalyst layer thickness, electrode aminating agent and membrane thickness. It was found that an optimum ionomer content de
The heterogeneity of different cation-exchange membranes (Neosepta CMX, Selemion CMV, and HJC heterogeneous membrane) and their effects on transport properties were investigated using chronopotentiometry, membrane conductivity, and currentvoltage curves. Modifying the classical Sand equation, a meth
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
Sulfonation of PEEK-WC powder (a glassy poly-ether ether ketone) has been performed at 80 β’ C for 3 h using H 2 SO 4 conc. (96%). The degree of sulfonation varied from 15 to 40%, depending on the reaction time. The sulfonated polymers (S-PEEK-WC) were used to prepare dense membranes for possible fue
