An experimental investigation of contamination of polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) membranes and catalyst layers with ammonia (NH3) is reported. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) scans and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analyses show that trace amounts of ammonia can significantly contaminate both the polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and the catalyst layers. The results show that the catalyst layer contamination can be reversed under certain conditions, while the membrane recovery tends to be much slower, and permanent effects of ammonia contamination is observed. Mechanisms of contamination of the polymer electrolyte and catalyst layers, and performance degradation of the PEFC are also postulated. (C) 2009 Professor T. Nejat Veziroglu.
