H2 crossover rate is about 50 mA (0.8 mA/cm2) at H2=1atm for a regular WUT CS8 MEA PtH desorption current A Regular WUT CS-8 Cell (60 cm2) #7 #9 #8 H2 Crossover I – damaged cells A regular cell (60 cm2) H2X I is about 40-60 mA at P (H2) = 1atm. H2 crossover is a diffusion limited process. It should be independent on electrode potential. Cell #7 short ( with slope) Cell #9 leak (parallel move up) Damages on Electrode Pt/C and Membrane Diagnosis Failure Mechanism – membrane leak Leak Leak short Distinguish Pt and membrane H2X I – the effects of hydrogen pressure H2 P = 6 psi H2 P = 0 psi (1
