Equilibration with water vapor Substantially less work was done in this area in the early phase of research on PFSAs because of previous emphasis on membranes which would be in contact with liquid water or aqueous solutions (e.g., for chlor-alkali technology). However, water supplied from the vapor phase could be a principal mode of external hydration of the membrane in a PEFC, particularly hydration of the anode side, and thus it is an important focus of study in fuel cell R D. The shape of the sorption isotherms shown in Fig. 29 (a) and (b) is generic for ion-exchange polymers. With increasing PhsO. water is sorbed in two steps as evidenced by the sorption isotherm ... 

However, in the cell the membrane hydration is affected by generic fuel cell processes, including the supply of humidified reactant gases to the electrodes, electroosmotic drag of water from anode to cathode, backtransport of water in the membrane, and production of water at the cathode. It is, therefore, generally important to consider the internal membrane water balance self-consistently and relate it to the membrane microstructure. 

Measurement and analysis of ac-impe-dance spectra of PEFCs, describing the generic form of spectra measured for such fuel cells and their value for cell diagnostics, was first provided in Ref. 90. The measurements were carried out using... 

It should be noted that, in general, the electrochemical equilibrium is not fully attained in fuel cells. Then, stationary open circuit potentials reached in fuel cells are not equilibrium potentials. When the electrodes are connected through an external circuit, a current flows and the cell voltage departs from the stationary open circuit value, a situation generically labeled as polarization of the cell. All phenomena leading from the departure of the equilibrium potential of the cell are also termed polarization phenomena.

This EVB model was employed to the systematic study of model pores or channels. Taking a simphstic view, the polymer was regarded as a rigid framework in which slab or cylinder pores of constant thickness or radius, respectively, are formed. Within this approach, proton transport in pores has been studied as a function of a variety of generic structural and dynamical features of the polymer and operational parameters of the working fuel cell (such as temperature and humidity). These studies revealed a number of factors determining the proton mobihty, such as the width of the channel, distance between the sidechains, and their flexibility. The main lessons of the simulations and the theoretical analysis were ...

The chemistry of electrocatalytic reactions at either electrode and the operating temperature of a fuel cell eCMR are determined mainly by the nature of the chargecarrying ion and the EM. To ftiUy appreciate the broad potential of the fuel cell eCMR, it is useful to start with a generic description.
