Abstract:The design of catalysts with stable and finely dispersed platinum or platinum alloy nanoparticles on the carbon support is key in controlling the performance of proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. In the present work, an intermetallic PtCo/C catalyst is synthesized via double-passivation galvanic displacement. TEM and XRD confirm a significantly narrowed particle size distribution for the catalyst particles compared to commercial benchmark catalysts (Umicore PtCo/C). Only about 10 % of the mass fraction… Show more
