The key attribute that is being investigated is the dependence of the oxygen-reduction and hydrogen-oxidation reaction kinetics on proton activity. The influence of proton activity on the kinetics is also important in the determination of limiting factors that impact overall fuel-cell performance. At lower humidities, which are required to simplify fuel-cell water and thermal management (especially for higher-temperature operation) and enable next generation fuel cells, the ionomer water content will be different than that in today?s fuel cells. Such changes in water content directly impact the activity and concentration of protons. Thus, it is necessary to quantify this impact of proton activity on the reaction kinetics, and to determine means to mitigate any detrimental impacts to enable high performance. To realize the above goals of understanding the intrinsic interactions of proton activity on hydrogen-oxidation and oxygen-reduction kinetics, systematic investigations were carried out and a novel technique, a rapid microelectrode with environmental control, was realized. The experimental campaign at LBNL worked alongside that of TokyoTech and both were complemented by mathematical modeling of the key phenomena. The results demonstrated a robust method to analyze the kinetic behavior and an impact of proton activity, although greater delineation in terms of ion concentration versus activity was not obtained fully due in part to limited lab access during the COVID pandemic.
