Characterization of structural degradation in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell cathode catalyst layer

This study investigated the structural degradation of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) due to carbon corrosion and ionomer degradation. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and polarization analyses were completed...
