    摘要: A method of operating an electrochemical conversion assembly is provided where a shut down sequence is introduced where a substantially dry gas is driven through the cathode flow field. The dry gas is supplied for an amount of time sufficient to reduce the water content of the proton exchange membrane to a level sufficient to suppress corrosion and catalyst dissolution in the membrane electrode assembly. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are fluid distribution methods and assemblies for supplying fluid to test assemblies. One embodiment of a fluid distribution assembly comprises at least two input lines each configured to supply a fluid. A source selection component is connected to the input lines and configured to receive the fluid of the input lines and select from the fluids a target fluid. A range selection component is configured to receive the target fluid and to select a flow range of the target fluid, outputting the target fluid to a flow component comprising a first flow adjustment component having a first flow rate resolution and a second flow adjustment component having a second flow rate resolution. The range selection component is configured to selectively output the target fluid to one of the first flow adjustment component and the second flow adjustment component based on the selected flow range.

    摘要: A fuel cell electrocatalyst layer having increased voltage cycling durability. The electrocatalyst layer comprises annealed platinum particles having an average particle size diameter from about 3 to about 15 nm deposited on a support structure. The platinum particles are annealed at a temperature from about 800 to about 1,400° C. for a time period such that the surface area is reduced by about 20% as compared to the original surface area. In various embodiments, the electrocatalyst layer retains an electrochemical surface area that is greater than 50% of an original electrochemical surface area after about 15,000 voltage cycles in the range from about 0.6 to about 1.0 V.
