Pt Nanoparticles Supported on Porous Antimony-Doped Tin Dioxide Aerogel As Cathode Material for Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Electrocatalytic Activity and Degradation Mechanism
Résumé
Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) are high-efficiency energy converters that can be deployed for mobile, transport and stationary applications in an eco-friendly manner. Nevertheless, their large-scale development requires further improvements, specifically regarding their lifetime in operation1. In abnormal PEMFC operating conditions, e.g. start-up/shutdown events2 or localized fuel starvation3, the positive electrode may reach potentials of 1.5 V vs the reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which triggers extensive carbon support corrosion at the cathode side.
