“…In particular, the author's group has developed diagnosis methods of operating status of the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) by analyzing the variation of resistances and capacitances of equivalent circuit models of the PEFC (Konomi & Saho, 2006;Nakajima et al, 2008). For the SOFC, a number of EIS analyses have been reported (Barsoukov & Macdonald, 2005;Esquirol et al, 2004;Horita et al, 2001;Huang et al, 2007;Ishihara et al, 2000;Jiang, 2002;Leonide et al, 2010;McIntosh et al, 2003). Although many of those reports focused on the characterization of developed materials, there were very few reports (Barfod et al, 2007) that analyze each impedance of the anode and cathode in the full cell impedance of a practical cell simultaneously and separately by applying EIS under operation.…”
