The poisoning effect of H 2 S and SO 2 in air is compared for phosphoric-acid-doped polybenzimidazole (PBI) membrane and perfluorosulfonic acid (Nafion) proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The cathodes of PBI PEMFCs are about 70 times more resistant to 1 ppm of H 2 S or S0 2 than the Nafion PEMFCs. The PBI PEMFCs only lose <2% in cell performance when exposed to 1 ppm of H 2 S or S0 2 and have 5.2 and 7.1% losses with 5 and 10 ppm H 2 S over 24 h, respectively. Purging the poisoned PBI cells with neat air leads to complete performance recovery.
