No significant chemical expansion or contraction of La0.5Sr0.2TiO2.95 are observed between air and reduced atmosphere. La0.5Sr0.2TiO2.95 material has an electrical conductivity at 800 °C of 1 S cm−1 under moist hydrogen (H2/H2O (3%)), reaching 10 S cm−1 when LSTO is prereduced under Ar/H2(5%).

Even though great progress has been made, long-term stability and durability is still an issue. The contamination ion plays an important role on the electrical performance of PEM fuel cell. This paper investigates the effect of Mg2+ contamination on PEM fuel cell performance as a function of Mg2+ concentration. Two levels of Mg2+ concentration was chose. From the experimental results, it can be obtained that a significant drop in fuel cell performance occurred when Mg2+ was injected into the anode fuel stream. The voltage and power density of fuel cell decreased larger and larger with increase of Mg2+ concentration over time. The Mg2+ mainly caused the concentration polarization loss from the anode catalyst to the membrane in fuel cell.","PeriodicalId":15829,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology","volume":"11 1","pages":"044501"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1115/1.4027391","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"63484724","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
