Abstract

Disclosed is a method of fuel cell analysis. The method includes measuring at least a portion of an electrode of a fuel cell to determine a measured result. The method also includes analyzing a state of the fuel cell according to the measured result.

Claims (19)

1 . A method of fuel cell analysis, the method comprising:

measuring at least a portion of an electrode of a fuel cell to determine a measured result; and

analyzing a state of the fuel cell according to the measured result.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the at least the portion of the electrode of the fuel cell includes measuring a pore size of the electrode of the fuel cell.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the at least the portion of the electrode of the fuel cell includes measuring at least a portion of an air electrode of the fuel cell.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

forming at least a portion of the electrode of the fuel cell by at least some of a coating process, a bonding process, and an attaching process.

5 . The method of claim 2 , wherein analyzing the state of the fuel cell includes analyzing the state of the fuel cell based on a measured pore size.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein measuring the at least the portion of the electrode of the fuel cell further includes removing at least one of impurities and moisture located at least one of inside and around the electrode of the fuel cell.

7 . The method of claim 2 , wherein measuring the pore size of the electrode of the fuel cell further includes calculating the pore size based on a result of nitrogen supply to the electrode of the fuel cell.

8 . An apparatus for fuel cell analysis, the apparatus comprising:

an electrode measurer configured to measure at least a portion of an electrode of a fuel cell to determine a measured result; and

a fuel cell state analyzer configured to analyze a state of the fuel cell according to the measured result.

9 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the electrode measurer is further configured to measure a pore size of the electrode of the fuel cell.

10 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the electrode measurer is further configured to measure at least a portion of an air electrode of the fuel cell.

11 . The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the at least a portion of the electrode of the fuel cell is formed by at least some of a coating process, a bonding process, and an attaching process.

12 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the fuel cell state analyzer is further configured to analyze the state of the fuel cell based on the measured pore size.

13 . The apparatus of claim 8 , further comprising an impurity remover configured to remove at least one of impurities and moisture located at least one of inside and around the electrode of the fuel cell.

14 . The apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the electrode measurer is further configured to calculate the pore size based on a result of nitrogen supply to the electrode of the fuel cell.
