Understanding the Crucial Significance of the Temperature and Potential Window on the Stability of Carbon Supported Pt-Alloy Nanoparticles as Oxygen Reduction Reaction Electrocatalysts

Tina Dukic et al.

Summary: This research provides a study on the stability of carbon-supported intermetallic Pt-alloy electrocatalysts and determines the effects of temperature and potential window on metal dissolution. The findings contradict the commonly accepted hypothesis that Pt dissolution is not significantly affected by temperature, and highlight the critical role of temperature in governing Pt stability and metal retention in Pt-alloy electrocatalysts. Additionally, the study shows that the rate of Pt redeposition increases with temperature, providing insight into the temperature-dependent kinetics of Pt stability.

Tailoring electrode microstructure via ink content to enable improved rated power performance for platinum cobalt/high surface area carbon based polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Tim Van Cleve et al.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of ink formulation on the performance of PtCo/HSC cathode electrocatalysts, finding that water content in the ink has little impact on ionomer coverage, and water-rich inks lead to smaller aggregates that improve oxygen transport. State-of-the-art membrane electrode assemblies with Pt loadings of 0.03/0.08 mgPt/cm(2) were produced, demonstrating excellent performance under various conditions.

Challenges in applying highly active Pt-based nanostructured catalysts for oxygen reduction reactions to fuel cell vehicles

Kensaku Kodama et al.

Summary: Progress has been made in the development of Pt-based nanocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction over the past 30 years, with some now in commercial production for PEFCs. However, further improvements in catalytic activity are needed. State-of-the-art catalysts have potential to enhance energy conversion efficiencies and reduce platinum usage in PEFCs, but technical challenges remain for their application in fuel cell vehicles, such as high power density, practical durability, and efficiency.

Pt-Catalyzed Oxidation of PEMFC Carbon Supports: A Path to Highly Accessible Carbon Morphologies and Implications for Start-Up/Shut-Down Degradation

Timon Lazaridis et al.

Summary: This study found that oxidative pre-treatment on commercial Pt/Ketjenblack can significantly improve oxygen transport and high current density performance of Pt catalysts by increasing pore accessibility. The gains in high current density primarily come from removing microporous constrictions in the primary carbon particles.

Revealing the Nanostructure of Mesoporous Fuel Cell Catalyst Supports for Durable, High-Power Performance

Matthew Ko et al.

Summary: The study investigates the role of nanoscale morphology in the performance of PtCo catalysts supported on different types of porous carbons. Accessible porous carbons have larger and more numerous mesopores compared to conventional porous carbons, leading to improved local oxygen transport through microporous channels. Although accessible porous carbons show faster rates of electrochemical surface area loss in durability testing, they maintain superior high current density performance at the end of the test due to enhanced local oxygen transport.

The role of oxygen-permeable ionomer for polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Ryosuke Jinnouchi et al.

Summary: This study reports the improvement of performance in polymer electrolyte fuel cells by incorporating a ring-structured backbone matrix into ionomers in the cathode catalyst layers. High power density and catalytic activity are achieved through the high oxygen solubility of the ionomer, promoting oxygen transport and reactions. The molecular design of the ionomer enhances the oxygen reduction reaction activity and mitigates catalyst poisoning, ultimately benefiting the overall performance of the fuel cells.
