Influence of the operating conditions on the electrode nanostructure and ionomer distribution in PEMFC under Operation
Being the place of the electrochemical reactions, the electrodes, made of Pt/C catalyst and a proton conducting ionomer, play a crucial role in PEMFC. Research and progress are still needed on this component to face the major challenges that are the cost, performance and durability, and finally, for large-scale commercialisation of PEMFC. We recently developped and validated a setup and specially designed cell to perform SANS measurements on the electrode under operation conditions. The proposed experiment aims at characterizing operando the effect of the working parameters (temperature, relative humidity, total pressure, partials pressures of oxygen, current density) simultaneously on the electrode performance, as well as its nanostructure and hydration, and more precisely on the influence of water content on ionomer nanostructure.
