Corrosion and degradation phenomena at various parts of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) are strongly accelerated by temperature temperature uncertainty can affect the performance predictions of PEMFC models accounting for degradation phenomena, as shown by Placca et al. (2009).

In Part I, degradation phenomena of stack components, catalysts, membranes, gas-diffusion layers, membrane-electrode assemblies, bipolar plates, and sealings are discussed on the basis of their materials chemistry. Accelerating methods and recent progress in durability improvement are also reviewed by prominent authors in the field.
