Preparation, characterisation and evaluation of a novel cathode catalyst for H2/O2 PEMFC – 40 wt.‐% Pt/Sibunit 1562P carbon – is presented. The performance of the cathodes based on the latter material is compared to that of a widely used commercially available reference material – 40 wt.‐% Pt/Vulcan XC 72R – Hispec 4000 (Johnson Matthey, UK). It has been found that the mass activity of the 40 wt.‐% Pt/Sibunit 1562P catalyst exceeds that of a commercial benchmark by a factor of 2 due to a better dispersion of the Pt metal realised in the Sibunit – supported catalyst. Mass transport properties of the two catalysts studied are virtually equal.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
