Electrochemical Diagnostics and Modeling in Developing the PEMFC Cathode
ECS Transactions(2016)
Abstract
Reducing the use of precious metal in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell is a key challenge in mass commercialization of fuel cell electric vehicles. However, as Pt loadings are reduced, fuel cell performance losses due to mass transport phenomena become more localized to the Pt and ionomer interface. In this paper, we provide an overview of how we use in-situ electrochemical diagnostics and modeling to understand the performance of low-Pt electrodes, identify their key limiting factors, and guide our catalyst layer development. In particular, diagnostics used to quantify the local-Pt oxygen transport resistance and the ionomer adsorption on the Pt surface will be discussed.
