Tough very promising, this technology is still in a Received in revised form developing phase, and degradation at the cell/stack level with operating time is still an issue of major 3 March 2015 concern. Methods to directly observe degradation modes and to measure their evolution over time are Accepted 28 March 2015 difficult to implement, and indirect performance indicators are adopted, typically related to voltage Available online 4 April 2015 measurements in long-term tests. In order to describe long-term degradation tests, three components of Keywords: the voltage me
