  • Publication number: 20150219728
    Abstract: A method and a device for measuring various parameters of a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) in a fuel cell. Hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas or air are supplied to the fuel cell to be tested. A voltage of the fuel cell is diminished by connecting to a load until the voltage is zero. The fuel cell is charged at a constant current. A constant current value is measured by a current sensor. A current signal and a voltage signal are collected by a data collector and are converted into digital quantity signals which are transmitted to a data processing unit. Data are automatically processed by programming of the data processing unit. Parameters, including an electrochemical active surface area of a catalyst, a double-layer capacitance, a hydrogen crossover current, and an impedance of the MEA of the fuel cell are acquired by differentiation and integral operations of the voltage data.
