Abstract: With the advantages of low temperature，high-efficiency and zero-emission，the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) as a generator device，has been considered to solve the crucial issues in environment and energy. However，the unclear electrochemical and transfer mechanisms for PEMFC inhibit its developments significantly. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is regarded as an important tool to clarify the electrode dynamics and surface adsorption. To review the recent EIS application on PEMFC systems and key materials，this paper generally introduces the application mechanism of EIS and the measurement for PEMFC，and penetrates into its in situ polarizations，materials evaluations and the reaction mechanisms with typical impedance spectrum analysis to analyze the significance of impedance element parameters on the improvement of the battery and material. Further the prospect of EIS application to PEMFC is also presented. In order to analyze the data of impedance spectrum in detail，it is better to combine equivalent circuit fitting with mathematical model simulation.
