Abstract
This procedure is intended to provide guidance and best practices for diagnosing component failure in an operated electrolyzer cell for both PEM and AEM systems. Instructions for disassembling cell hardware, labeling and preserving cell components and diagnostic test methods for these components are discussed. This procedure assumes a 1-cell Fraunhofer electrolyzer test cell, but it is possible to adapt this for other cell hardware and multi-cell stacks. The SOP was developed by Jennifer Glenn.
