“…After OCV stabilized, a constant voltage of 0.5 V was applied to "break-in" the cell and remove carbonates from the MEA that resulted from exposure to air during cell assembly. 18,32 Break-in was done until a plateau in the current density was observed, which usually took around 40-50 min. Polarization curves were measured by sweeping voltage from OCV to 0.1 V at a scan rate of 10 mVs −1 at various RH conditions.…”

“…One of the reasons for this low performance is the high cell resistance of 1 wt% K 2 CO 3 -fed AEMWEs because of their lower mobility, approximately 3-4 times in the presence of carbonate and bicarbonate ions, compared to a carbonate ion-free system. 75,76 The literature survey indicates that the performance of current PGM-free catalyzed AEMWEs increases in the order: concentrated KOH-fed (Fig. 4a, light blue) c pure water-fed (Fig.…”

“…Therefore, the CO 2 reaction not only affects the conductivity but also affects the overall polymer morphology. Combined, this says that the introduction of carbonate to the operating AEMFC can lower the water uptake of the AEMs [ 52 ]. However, this has never been directly measured in an operating cell.…”
