Abstract
⺠Vacuum pressure was applied to a PEMFC to dry the membrane. ⺠The vacuum-drying performance was compared to dry N2 purging method. ⺠Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to monitor the drying process. ⺠An equivalent circuit model was used to analyze the membrane resistance and anode charge-transfer resistance. ⺠Experimental results show vacuum-assisted drying methods provide a higher water removal rate than dry N2 purging.
