Investigation of Shorting by Penetration in Pem Fuel Cell Membranes

Electrical shorting through the proton exchange membrane (PEM) is a form of early failure commonly found in PEM fuel cells. In order to improve the durability and thus the commercial potential for PEM fuel cells, this form of failure must be understood and mitigated. This research investigates whe...
