Some parameters such as ia,ref, cH,ref, ic,ref, cO,ref, αa and αc that affect the PEMFC performance are numerically studied in the present work. To reveal the effects of the above parameters on the cell performance, several parameter groups have been presented. The results show that different parameter values may result in a wholly identical polarization curve when the parameters agree with a given function. The function indicates the effects of several parameters and can be used to direct the optimization of PEMFC performance.
