| Abstract | Polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is one of the most efficient clean energy generation systems with high power density at low temperatures, which has a great advantage for its automotive applications. However, a major problem is practically insufficient durability of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in PEFC under the operating conditions, especially during startup/shutdown cycles of PEFC, where the feed gases are exchanged. When the anode feed gas exchange cycles are repeated, while keeping the cathode under air, the cathode catalyst degradation proceeds [1, 2]. To visualize 3D degradation of the cathode catalyst layer, we measured the structural and electronic changes of Pt nanoparticles in the PEFC MEA during the anode-gas exchange (AGEX) cycles by in-situ CT-XAFS imaging technique [3, 4] at our beamline BL36XU in SPring-8. |
