Carbon Corrosion in a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell

Application ID: 140621


Carbon corrosion is one of the important degradation mechanisms in a Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cells which predominantly occurs during start-up or shut down of the fuel cells. During carbon corrosion, carbon support to catalysts is compromised affecting the cell performance.

In this model, the shut-down purging scenario is modeled by introducing air on the hydrogen (H2) side. If the gas flow channel on the H2 side is clogged by water, the scenario modeled here may arise.
