“…However, the corrosion of carbon-support materials by electrochemical oxidation in fuel cell operating environments and the loss of ECSA due to catalyst aggregation, in addition to the separation of the catalyst from the catalyst support, thereby causing a degradation in performance, have been extensively reported. 3,[9][10][11][12] Recently, much attention has been centered on the development of materials that exhibit corrosion resistance and high conductivity, such as carbon nanobers, 13 carbon nanotubes, 14,15 graphene 16 or N-doped graphene, 17 and highly stable conducting metal oxides, 18,19 which can greatly slow down the corrosion support or introduce a synergistic co-catalytic effect between Pt and the support, such as highly CO-tolerant and electrocatalytic activity for hydrogen oxidation and ORR. Thus, support materials with high corrosion resistance and desired conductivity are promising, and it is necessary to explore alternatives to replace carbon-support materials to improve the durability of PEMFCs.…”
