abstract = {This work presents a model for the prediction and analysis
of voltage losses in proton exchange membrane fuel cells
arising from accelerated stress testing. It consists of two
submodels. The first submodel uses a statistical
physics-based population balance approach to describe the
degradation of the catalyst active surface. It is combined
with a performance submodel that allows incorporating the
degradation of the catalyst activity. During testing, a
dedicated diagnostic procedure is used to determine the cell
performance and the cathode properties, like the
electrochemical active surface area, during the stress
tests. It was found that the change of the catalyst
activity, described by Tafel slope and exchange current
density, correlates with the change in active surface area.
The model allows the description of catalyst surface
reduction, changes of Tafel slope and exchange current
density as well as voltage losses. We find that the voltage
losses attributed to the loss of electrochemical active
surface area are minor, while the dominant factor is the
change of the Tafel-slope. Accordingly, this study shows
that during PEM-FC cathode degradation studies the Tafel
slope should be the most relevant metric. The model
describes the experimental data with a standard deviation of
7.1 mV in a range of 0–2.0 A/cm. The model is intended to
be used as a building block for the prediction of
performance losses of PEM fuel cells under drive cycle
conditions.},
