In this study, polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) were humidified with NaCl solutions. NaCl solutions were provided to the cathode side of fuel cells by bubbling. De-Ionized water, 3.5 wt% NaCl solution, and 20 wt% NaCl solution were used to evaluate the effects of NaCl. Current density-voltage curves and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies (EIS) of fuel cells were measured. Additionally, the constant-voltage mode long-term stability of PEMFCs humidified with NaCl solution were investigated. Constant-voltage measurements and EIS results imply that the degradation of fuel cells is clearly related with the concentration of NaCl solutions.
