摘要
The effects of temperature on corrosion behavior, wettability, and surface conductivity of 304 stainless steel (SS304) in simulated cathode environment of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) are investigated systematically using electrochemical tests and surface analyses. The results indicate that although the corrosion resistance of SS304 is decreased with the rising of solution temperature, the current density of SS304 at the working potential in the simulated PEMFC cathode environment can still meet the 2025 U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) technical target (i(corr) < 1 mu A cm(-2)). Meanwhile, the surface wettability and ICR of SS304 samples after potentiostatic polarization show a continuous increase with the rise of the simulated solution temperature. The surface conductivity of SS304 both before and after polarization cannot reach the 2025 DOE technical target (<0.01 Omega cm(2)) and needs to be improved by surface modification.
