Accelerated Degradation of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Gas Diffusion Layers: Mass Transport Resistance and Liquid Water Accumulation at Limiting Current Density with in operando Synchrotron X-ray Radiography
Bibliographic record
Abstract
An SGL 29BC gas diffusion layer (GDL) was degraded (aged) in hydrogen peroxide. The impact of ageing was measured through deviations from pristine GDLs in terms of limiting current densities, oxygen mass transport resistances, and liquid water spatial distributions in the GDL. For dry and saturated cathode conditions (oxygen concentrations of 1% and 21%, respectively) the fuel cell containing the aged GDL reached limiting current densities that were up to 10.3% lower and experienced increases in oxygen mass transport resistance of up to 11.7% versus the pristine GDL. This performance reduction was attributed to a higher liquid water content (13% more at an oxygen concentration of 21%) in the aged GDL under the channel compared to the pristine GDL. In fuel cells built with aged and pristine GDLs, up to 200% more water was present in the GDL under the land compared to under the channel at limiting current operation.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
