In this study, an efficient method of approximating individual fuel cell impedances in a stack is proposed and experimentally verified. Two different proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stacks (600 W with 24 cells and 1.2 kW with 47 cells) were used to develop and verify the method. Both PEM fuel cell stacks were operated using room air and pure hydrogen (99.999%). Impedance and current - voltage (I-V) data were collected for stack and individual cell levels under various operating conditions. The experimental result shows that the individual cell impedance is directly proportional to the corresponding cell voltage. Therefore individual cell impedance can be accurately estimated by performing only stack impedance and individual cell voltage measurements.

Melt processing is one of the essential technologies for the mass production of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEM) at low cost. Azoles have been widely used in PEM to improve their conductivity at a relatively low humidity and recently as bifunctional additives in a melt blowing processing for PEM mass production. In this work, we attempted to assess the effect of 1, 2, 4-triazole additive in membranes and in catalyst layers on PEM fuel cell conditioning. Various characterization tools including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), cyclic voltammetry (CV) and conditioning with constant current were applied to diagnose the temporary electrochemical reaction effect and the permanent performance loss caused by the triazole additives. It was found that triazole additives in membranes could migrate into the catalyst layers and significantly affect the open circuit voltage (OCV) and the conditioning. The effect could be partially or completely removed/cleaned either through longer conditioning time or via CV cycling, which depends on the amount of additives remaining in the membrane. The findings provide valuable scientific insights on the relevance of post treatment steps during membrane production and overcoming fuel cell contamination issues due to residual additive in the membranes and understanding the quality control needed for fuel cell membranes by melt blowing processing.
