The exponential term compensates for the mass-transport regions of the V vs. i plot; i.e., the increase in slope of the pseudolinear region and the subsequent rapid fall-off of the cell potential with increasing current density. The terms E0 and b yield the electrode kinetic parameters for oxygen reduction in the PEMFC and R represents the resistance, predominantly ohmic and, to a small extent, the charge transfer resistance of the electro-oxidation of hydrogen. The exponential term characterizes the mass-transport region of the V vs. i plot. The parameter n has more pronounced effects than the parameter m in this region. In Chamberline Kim’s model, the values of the parameters(five parameters: E0, b, R, m, n) vary depending on many variables, including the composition of the Membrane Electrode Assemblies(MEA), the fuel and oxidant used, besides the local temperature, pressure, and humidity of the MEA. They also depend on the stack itself, so that it can not be transposed to another fuel cell without new parameter identification.\n", "
