“…However, recent experiments showed that the electrocatalysts such as Pt or PteRu can accelerate carbon corrosion and reduce the corrosion potentials to 0.55 V (vs. RHE) or lower [37]. i n t e r n a t i o n a l j o u r n a l o f h y d r o g e n e n e r g y 3 7 ( 2 0 1 2 ) 1 7 9 9 2 e1 8 0 0 0 As previously reported in the fuel starvation condition [26], Pt/CNT-A showed less degradation after acceleration test due to its higher degree of graphitic crystallinity than Pt/C. The initial current density of MEA-1 and MEA-2 at 0.6 V were 795.7 and 771.3 mA cm À2 , respectively, which were reduced to 298.4 (À62.5%) and 499.0 mA cm À2 (À35.3%), respectively.…”
