| Abstract | This works report results of the structural and the electrochemical characterization of membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) under various cell conditions using different MEA production processes. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was applied “on-line” (in situ) as a tool for diagnosis concerning the cell performance. MEA with a 25-cm$^{2}$ surface area were prepared using Pt/C and Pt–Ru/C commercial electrocatalysts from E-TEK and Pt–Ru/C electrocatalysts produced by the alcohol reduction process. The catalytic ink was applied directly onto the carbon cloth or, alternatively, onto the Nafion® membrane. Two carbon cloth thicknesses were tested as diffusion layers in the MEA: 0.346 mm (common) and 0.424 mm (ELAT). An increase of the electrocatalytic activity can be obtained by pH control in the alcohol reduction process, possibly due to the better particle dispersion and the smaller particle sizes observed. In addition, a slower current decay in the ohmic region was observed using the thinner carbon cloth. This can be related to a lower resistance of the gas flow through the cloth to the catalytic active layer. Different types of methanol feed were employed in the experiments: by humidification and by evaporation. The results showed that the choice of suitable methods for catalyst preparation as well as for MEA production enhance PEMFC performance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
