The Effect of Airborne Bromomethane Contamination on PEMFC Performance
Abstract
Air pollution is a challenge for the commercialization of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) due to the detrimental impact of pollutants on cell performance and durability (1-5). Some of these pollutants adsorb onto the Pt surface and compete with the crucial oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Contaminants such as chloride anions also undergo an irreversible complexing reaction with Pt (5).
