Modeling and Simulation of the Degradation of Perfluorinated Ion-Exchange Membranes in PEM Fuel Cells
Open accessAbstract
A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell model that incorporates chemical degradation in perfluorinated sulfonic acid membranes is developed. The model is based on conservation principles and includes a detailed description of the transport phenomena. A degradation submodel describes the formation of hydrogen peroxide via distinct mechanisms in the cathode and anode, together with the subsequent formation of radicals via Fenton reactions involving metal-ion impurities. The radicals participate in the decomposition of reactive end groups to form carboxylic acid, hydrogen fluoride, and . Degradation proceeds through unzipping of the polymer backbone and cleavage of the side chains. Simulations are presented, and the numerical code is shown to be extremely time-efficient. Known trends with respect to operating conditions are qualitatively captured, and the exhibited behavior is shown to be robust to changes in the rate constants. The feasibility of a chemical degradation mechanism based on peroxide and radical formation is discussed.

In the citing paper
“In this model, independent concentrations are assigned to several constituent repeated moieties within the polymer structure (carboxylic acid, weak polymer end groups, side chains, CF2); as these concentrations evolve under the degradation model, they allow a prediction of spatial and temporal evolution of degradation sites.”

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.
