State-of-the-art and developmental trends in platinum group metal-free cathode catalyst for anion exchange membrane fuel cell (AEMFC)

Mosaddek Hossen et al.

Summary: Non-platinum catalysts are essential for the economical application of AEMFC, and this review summarizes the advancements in the synthesis of different components and structures of catalysts. Thirteen catalysts have surpassed the peak power density threshold of 1000 mW.cm-2, including Metal-Nitrogen-Carbon (M-N-C), Bimetals-Nitrogen-Carbon (MM-N-C), Transition metal oxides (TMO), and non-metallic catalysts (NMC). The improvement in catalyst's porosity, surface area, conjugation of active sites, and synthesis procedures greatly affect the ORR activity and fuel cell performance.

Transition metal (Fe, Co, Mn, Cu) containing nitrogen-doped porous carbon as efficient oxygen reduction electrocatalysts for anion exchange membrane fuel cells

Srinu Akula et al.

Summary: Delving into highly active and cost-efficient electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is crucial for large-scale application of polymer electrolyte fuel cells. Anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) are promising clean energy devices with mild reaction conditions and the possibility of employing Pt-free catalysts for ORR. This study focuses on the development of non-Pt catalysts for AEMFC by preparing metal-nitrogen-carbon (M-N-C) electrocatalysts through a robust synthesis method using transition metal impregnated melamine-phloroglucinol-formaldehyde (MPF) polymeric networks. The catalysts with optimized metal content and pyrolysis temperature showed enhanced ORR performance due to their prominent textural properties and efficient active centers. Iron-doped (MPF/Fe) and cobalt-doped (MPF/Co) catalysts performed the best with half-wave potential (E1/2) values of 0.81 and 0.80 V vs RHE, attributed to the highly active M-Nx sites and hierarchical porous structure. The outstanding electrochemical stability and high-power density in AEMFC (up to 347 mW cm-2) demonstrate the potential of these M-N-C catalysts for fuel cell applications.

Probing Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell Cathodes by Varying Electrocatalysts and Electrode Processing

Cheng He et al.

Summary: This study compares the performance and electrochemical characteristics of different types of cathode electrocatalysts (Pt/C, Ag/C, Fe-N-C) on powder and dispersion-based ionomers. The results show that Pt/C and Ag/C catalysts exhibit higher performance on powder ionomer, with Pt/C showing a strong dependence on ionomer type. However, the performance of Fe-N-C catalyst is almost unaffected by the ionomer type. This has important implications for achieving high performance at low loadings and better understanding of catalyst-ionomer interactions in AEMFCs.

On the stability of anion exchange membrane fuel cells incorporating polyimidazolium ionene (Aemion plus ®) membranes and ionomers

Qiliang Wei et al.

Summary: In this study, the performance of anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) using commercial polyimidazolium-based Aemion+(R) as both the ionomer and membrane was reported. Aemion+(R) showed reduced dimensional swelling and higher water permeance compared to previous polybenzimidazolium-based Aemion (R) membranes and ionomers. The reinforcement of Aemion+(R) with a fluorine-free polyolefin substrate enhanced the important properties for fuel cell operation. The highest power density of 1.4 W cm(-2) at 70 degrees C, 250 kP(abs) H-2/O-2 was achieved by using a direct membrane deposition (DMD) approach with an ultrathin 5 mu m membrane. The reinforcement also enabled stable AEMFC operation at 80 degrees C, with a power density of 1.1 W cm(-2) at 80 degrees C, 300 kPa(abs) H-2/O-2.
