This paper investigates the thermal and water balance as well as the electro-kinetics during the warm-up process of a Hydrogen/Oxygen high-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) from room temperature up to the desired temperature of 180 ˚C. The heating strategy involves the ext...
