In this thesis, the performance-determining loss processes for the cell operation on reformate fuels are elucidated via electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Model-based analyses reveal the electrochemical fuel oxidation mechanism, the coupling of fuel gas transport and reforming chemistry and the impact of fuel impurities on the degradation of each loss process UR - https://www.ksp.kit.edu/9783731500063 UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/53666 ER -
