Fuel cell performance and characterization of 1-D carbon-supported platinum nanocomposites synthesized in supercritical fluids

Synthesis and electrocatalysis of 1-aminopyrene-functionalized carbon nanofiber-supported platinum–ruthenium nanoparticles

“…Therefore, the development of highly active electrode catalysts coupled with a suitable electrode structure and low catalyst loading is important for attaining high efficiency in DMFCs, and subsequently lowering their cost. Carbon nanomaterials are currently being considered as suitable supports for catalysts in DMFCs [13][14][15], because of their unique graphite properties combined with threedimensional flexible structures. Carbon nanofibers (CNFs), one of the promising carbon nanomaterials for supporting catalysts, have been investigated by several research groups due to their unique 1-dimensional structure, high electronic and thermal conductivities, and good electrochemical stability [16,17].…”

Comparison of Pt/MWCNTs nanocatalysts synthesis processes for proton exchange membrane fuel cells

“…The synthesis methods reported in the literature for Pt/CNTs are wet chemical method [16,17], electroless plating [18], electrodeposition [19], selfassembly [20] and supercitrical fluid [21]. However, homogenous deposition of Pt nanoparticles on the inert surface of CNTs is still a challenge in current technology [22].…”

Electrochemical performance of fuel cell catalysts prepared by supercritical deposition: Effect of different precursor conversion routes

“…Electrocatalysts prepared using SCD were shown to be very promising for fuel cell applications [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40]. In particular, Pt/C electrocatalysts prepared using SCD were shown to be very promising catalysts toward the ORR and HOR [35] in voltammetry tests due to the small particle size, homogeneous dispersion, and narrow particle size distribution of the Pt on the carbon support.…”
