Building the bridge of small organic molecules to porous carbons via ionic solid principle

Lei Tong et al.

Summary: This study reports a simple, general, and controllable method for preparing porous carbons by converting small organic molecules into organic molecular salts followed by pyrolysis. The strong electrostatic force in organic molecular salts ensures the formation of carbons under high-temperature pyrolysis, while metal moieties can evolve into in-situ templates or activators to create nanopores. The modular nature of organic molecular salts allows easy control of porosity and chemical doping. Sulfur-doped carbon prepared using this method can serve as a support material for catalyst preparation.

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.

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.

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.

High-Current Density Durability of Pt/C and PtCo/C Catalysts at Similar Particle Sizes in PEMFCs

Nagappan Ramaswamy et al.

Summary: The durability of carbon supported PtCo-alloy based nanoparticle catalysts is crucial for the longevity of proton-exchange membrane fuel cells in electric vehicle applications. Factors causing performance degradation of PtCo-based cathode catalyst layers over time include ECSA loss, specific activity loss, H+/O-2-transport changes, and Co2+ contamination effects. Accelerated stress test voltage cycling protocol compares the durability of Pt and PtCo catalysts, revealing that PtCo catalysts exhibit larger cell voltage loss at high current densities due to secondary effects of leached Co2+ cations contaminating the electrode ionomer. A 1D performance model quantifies cell voltage losses from various degradation factors of the membrane electrode assembly.

Effect of Catalyst and Catalyst Layer Composition on Catalyst Support Durability

Siddharth Komini Babu et al.

Summary: The study shows that carbon support corrosion is similar between platinum (Pt) and platinum-cobalt (PtCo) catalysts. However, the performance degradation rate is higher for alloy catalysts due to differences in catalyst particle size and the leaching of transition metals. Lower initial carbon loading in catalysts results in lower carbon loss and better durability, but the cumulative loss of carbon remains the same for electrodes with the same catalyst support regardless of catalyst and ionomer composition in the catalyst layer.

Summary: The distance between supported metal nanoparticles plays a critical role in mitigating thermally induced sintering, as demonstrated in a study using carbon black supported platinum nanoparticles. By enlarging the particle distance beyond a critical value, particle coalescence can be significantly suppressed up to 900 degrees Celsius, showcasing the importance of metal-support interactions in preventing catalyst deactivation.
