A Reverse-Current Decay Mechanism for Fuel Cells
Open accessAbstract
A mechanism that may cause accelerated performance decay of fuel cells is presented. The mechanism is explained using a one-dimensional model of the potential profile. The analysis indicates that the electrolyte potential drops from 0 to ( vs. RHE) when the anode is partially exposed to hydrogen and partially exposed to oxygen. This causes flow of current opposite to normal fuel cell mode at the oxygen-exposed region and raises the cathode interfacial potential difference to 1.44 V, causing carbon corrosion, which decreases performance. The decay mechanism was validated using two different experimental setups which reproduced the carbon-corrosion phenomenon.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
