Abstract
Break-in or conditioning phase of the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) stack plays a crucial role in the final performance as well as durability. The cover picture shows the effects of break-in with a before and after comparison of the catalyst layer on a submicron scale. This process is deconvoluted into several different mechanisms that may have either beneficial or detrimental effect on PEMFC stack. More details can be found in the article by Mitja Kostelec, Matija Gatalo and Nejc Hodnik (DOl: 10.1002/tcr.202400114
期刊介绍:
The Chemical Record (TCR) is a "highlights" journal publishing timely and critical overviews of new developments at the cutting edge of chemistry of interest to a wide audience of chemists (2013 journal impact factor: 5.577). The scope of published reviews includes all areas related to physical chemistry, analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry, polymer chemistry, materials chemistry, bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology and medicinal chemistry as well as interdisciplinary fields.
TCR provides carefully selected highlight papers by leading researchers that introduce the author''s own experimental and theoretical results in a framework designed to establish perspectives with earlier and contemporary work and provide a critical review of the present state of the subject. The articles are intended to present concise evaluations of current trends in chemistry research to help chemists gain useful insights into fields outside their specialization and provide experts with summaries of recent key developments.
