contents Accelerated life testing (ALT) can significantly reduce the economic, time, and labor costs of life testing in the process of equipment, device, and material research and development (R&D), and improve R&D efficiency. This paper proposes a performance characterization data prediction (PCDP) method and a life prediction-driven ALT (LP-ALT) method to accelerate the life test of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The PCDP method can accurately predict different PCD using only four impedances (real and imaginary) corresponding to a high frequency and a medium frequency, greatly shortening the measurement time of offline PCD and reducing the difficulty of life testing. The test results on an open source life test dataset containing 42 PEMFCs show that compared with the determination coefficient (R^2) results of predicted aging indicators, including limiting current, total mass transport resistance, electrochemically active surface area, and crossover current, obtained based on the measured PCD, the R^2 results of predicted aging indicators based on the predicted PCD is only reduced by 0.04, 0.01, 0.05, and 0.06, respectively. The LP-ALT method can shorten the life test time through early life prediction. Test results on the same open-source life test dataset of PEMFCs show that the acceleration ratio of the LP-ALT method can reach 30 times under the premise of ensuring that the minimum R^2 of the prediction results of different aging indicators, including limiting current, total mass transport resistance, and electrochemically active surface area, is not less than 0.89. Combining the different performance characterization data predicted by the PCDP method and the life prediction of the LP-ALT method, the diagnosis and prognosis of PEMFCs and their components can be achieved.
