Research Project: Carbon corrosion in PEM fuel cells

Research Summary: 
Corrosion leads to collapse of the essential porous microstructure in PEM fuel cell cathodes. We seek to optimize focused ion beam tomography as a high-throughput screening method for observing microstructural cathode changes in response to carbon corrosion. Tomography data are used as geometries in next-generation modeling and simulations to better understand and characterize transport in the cathode over a lifetime of operational use.
