Cyclic voltammetry (CV) is commonly used to test the characteristics of the electrode materials before they are employed in the actual fuel cell. Interestingly in the case of DMFCs CV also is a useful technique to obtain vital information about the performance and expected efficiency of the electrodes.

However, there is a great deal of ambiguity surrounding this criterion, owing to the genesis of <i>I<sub>b</sub></i>.

Thus, metallic bipolar plates (BPs), such as aluminum (Al), have attracted immense consideration and afford better performance in different machine-driven applications and mass manufacturing opportunities. In order to increase the corrosion resistance of Al BPs, several methods are used and conducted by scientists. The corrosion behavior and surface structure analysis of pure Al were studied through the immersion process in fluoride-sulfate solutions, assuming its use as BPs in PEMFC-produced water. The open cell voltage, interfacial contact resistance, and polarization tests and the fuel cell operations were performed to evaluate cell voltage, current density, corrosion resistance, and the effect of fluoride and sulfate ions on the BPs in PEMFC. The hydrophobicity character of the surface of Al BPs was observed by the measurement of the wettability test. The atomic force microscopy images were taken to study the surface roughness, which was correlated with the corrosion rates of Al BPs. In addition, the amount of corrosion was calculated after 24–120 h of immersion in fluoride-sulfate solutions. The scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy data were analyzed to investigate the surface structure, morphology, and elemental analyses. Thus, the results found in this study revealed that Al-based materials can be suitable for BPs in PEMFCs.

Catalyst inks often contain a multicomponent solvent mixture. Selective drying, which can occur with solvent mixtures, changes the composition in the solidifying film and thus influences the microstructure of the layer that forms. The selectivity depends on the material-specific thermodynamics of the solvents and the process-related drying parameters. Different 1-propanol/water mixtures serve as the state of the art material system considered and commonly used for CCM inks. Typical solvent mixtures can be dried selectively or non-selectively, depending on the initial ink composition and humidity of the drying air. In mixtures that contain more 1-propanol than the azeotropic or arheotropic composition, the 1-propanol content accumulates in the remaining liquid; if there is less, it decreases. Increasing the preloading of the drying air with water leads to a relative water enrichment and shifts the tipping point to higher initial alcohol fractions.
