Abstract

The aim of this study is to provide a better understanding of performance degrading mechanisms occurring when a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer (PEM-WE) is coupled with renewable energies, where times of operation and idle periods alternate. An accelerated stress test (AST) is proposed, mimicking a fluctuating power supply by operating the electrolyzer cell between high (3 A cm −2 geo ) and low current densities (0.1 A cm −2 geo ), alternating with idle periods during which no current is supplied and the cell rests at open circuit voltage (OCV). Polarization curves, periodically recorded during the OCV-AST, reveal an initial increase in activity (≈50 mV after 10 cycles) followed by a significant decrease in performance during prolonged OCV cycling due to an increasing high frequency resistance (HFR) (≈1.6-fold after 718 cycles). These performance changes can clearly be related to the OCV periods, since they are not observed in a reference experiment where the OCV period is replaced by a potential hold at 1.3 V. The origin of the phenomena, which are responsible for the initial performance gain as well as the subsequent decay are analyzed via detailed electrochemical and physical characterization of the MEAs, and an operating strategy to prevent performance degradation is proposed.

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.
