Lifetime prediction for proton exchange membrane fuel cell under real driving cycles based on platinum particle dissolve model

Proton exchange membrane fuel cell degradation model based on catalyst transformation theory

“…Some studies [44] have tried to build the relationship between the ECSA losing and PEMFC power output degradation. For example, the relationship between the power output and electric current of a PEMFC was given under different ECSA in the reference [45], and the power output decreases with the ECSA degradation. However, it is worth noting that the catalyst ECSA loss is severely related to the operation cycles of PEMFC, thus it is not a trivial issue to find the causality between the degradation of catalyst and PEMFC power output.…”

A Review of the Transition Region of Membrane Electrode Assembly of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Design, Degradation, and Mitigation

“…Although the Nafion ® molecules possess stable PTFE backbones, the durability of the PFSA membranes is still not good enough, especially for vehicular application. It has been reported that the lifetime of PFSA under continuous fuel cell operation is in the range of a few thousand to several tens of thousands hours, but depending on operating conditions, such as start/stop cycling, temperature, and relative humidity (hydro-thermal) cycling, etc., [ 43 ].…”

Design of electrocatalysts with reduced Pt content supported on mesoporous NiWO4 and NiWO4-graphene nanoplatelets composite for oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation in acidic medium

“…The scientific strategy focuses on the need for cost-competitive low carbon energy and energy efficient technologies. Due to their low operation temperature/pressure requirement and high energy density, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) comprise the most important type of fuel cell for different applications, like automobiles [1][2][3], stationary [4], and small-scale portable electricity generation [5][6][7].…”
