Herein disclosed is a method of treating a component of a fuel cell, which includes the step of exposing the component of the fuel cell to a source of electromagnetic radiation (EMR). The component comprises a first material. The EMR has a wavelength ranging from 10 to 1500 nm and the EMR has a minimum energy density of 0.1 Joule/cm2. Preferably, the treatment process has one or more of the following effects: heating, drying, curing, sintering, annealing, sealing, alloying, evaporating, restructuring, foaming. In an embodiment, the substrate is a component in a fuel cell. Such component comprises an anode, a cathode, an electrolyte, a catalyst, a barrier layer, a interconnect, a reformer, or reformer catalyst. In an embodiment, the substrate is a layer in a fuel cell or a portion of a layer in a fuel cell or a combination of layers in a fuel cell or a combination of partial layers in a fuel cell.

A method of using a seal to seal a space between a first structure and a second structure that is movable relative to the first structure, the method includes engaging both the first structure and the second structure with the seal so as to seal the space with the second structure in a first position relative to the first structure, and disengaging the second structure from at least a portion of the seal with the second structure in a second position relative to the first structure so that at least a portion of the space is unsealed, where the second structure swipes across the seal moving between the first position and the second position.
