Platinum nanoparticles decorated carbon nanofiber hybrids as highly active electrocatalysts for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells

Abstract: Increasing the efficiency of electrocatalyst is the key demand for the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). To address the activity and performance challenges of commercial electrocatalyst, Pt/C, we introduce a new hybrid catalyst support for Pt nanoparticles. In this regard, combining or mixing specific type of carbon-based supports is a feasible strategy to increase catalyst utilization and performance. In the current study, Pt nanoparticles (NPs) were decorated on a new hybrid network, comprisin… Show more

“…In previous studies in which the deposition method and/or the carbon‐based materials were different the resulted mass activities have been reported to be in the range of 0.063 to 0.272 A mg −1. 7,40 The charge transfer current coming from the kinetically controlled region, for the not‐modified sample, is higher than the modified one. This could be because of graphene's different structures coming from oxygen functional groups which were shown from XPS spectra of C 1s in Figures 6C,C.…”

“…[1][2][3] However, their high cost due to the exclusive use of expensive Pt and Pt-based catalysts 3,4 is still considered an obstacle to commercialization, despite the efforts to increase the mass activity of Pt. 5,6 As a promising alternative to PEMFCs, anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs) have been receiving increasing attention mainly because they comprise non-precious metals and alloy catalysts in alkaline media with relatively high activity and stability. 7,8 Another benefit of using alkaline media, compared with acidic media, is the enhanced kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).…”
