The study fabricated Pt nanoparticles on PBI/MWCNT support with fine ECSA for hydrogen oxidation, showing higher durability compared to Pt/MWCNT and commercial Pt/C. Despite this, performance tests in HT-PEMFC demonstrated that there is a trade-off between durability and power density values, with Pt/C outperforming Pt-PBI/MWCNT at all temperatures.
We fabricate polybenzimidazole (PBI) wrapped carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as support material for platinum-based fuel cell electrocatalyst. With the aid of microwave-assisted polyol reduction, we obtain very fine platinum (Pt) nanoparticles on PBI/MWCNT support while reducing the amount of Pt waste during synthesis. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) concludes that Pt-PBI/MWCNT has 43.0 m(2) g(-1) of electrochemically active surface area (ECSA) to catalyze hydrogen oxidation. Furthermore, after the 1000th cycle, Pt-PBI/MWCNT preserves almost 80% of its maximum ECSA, meaning that Pt-PBI/MWCNT is much more durable than the Pt/MWCNT and commercial Pt/C. High-temperature proton exchange membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) performance tests are conducted under H-2/Air conditions at the temperatures ranging from 150 degrees C to 180 degrees C. Nevertheless, tests conclude that the maximum power density values of the Pt-PBI/MWCNT are found inferior to the Pt/C at all temperatures (e.g., 47 vs. 62 mW cm(-2) at 180 degrees C), suggesting that some balance between durability and performance has to be taken into consideration.
