Selection of low cost materials for balance of plant (BOP) components requires an understanding of potential contaminants that evolve from them, which have been shown to affect the performance and durability of fuel cells. Using cyclic voltammetry as a quick ex-situ electrochemical screening tool [1-9], the present work evaluates the impact of the extracted solution and the individual leachable constituents from prospective BOP component materials on the performance and recoverability of the platinum catalyst.
