Abstract
⺠Accelerated Stress Testing (AST) for carbon corrosion in a segmented PEM fuel cell. ⺠Compared cathode Gas Diffusion Layers (GDLs) with and without a microporous layer. ⺠Cells with cathode MPL are more resistant to corrosion of the catalyst support. ⺠Current distribution with cathode MPL changes due to catalyst layer degradation. ⺠Without cathode MPL, GDL fibers cause localized thinning in the catalyst layer.
