ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT
Electrochemical energy conversion could have a dramatic impact on the architecture of the current energy system. However, before fuel cells and other devices become incorporated into consumer products, the relationship between their performance, lifetime, and failure mechanisms must be understood. As a result of this understanding, the ability to identify general failure patterns must be translated into industrial and commercial standards, quality control protocols, maintenance procedures, safety regulations, and recycling mechanisms. I will describe new hardware that has been recently developed to simulate two failure modes in PEMFC stacks.
