“…Furthermore, the choice of experimental apparatus can significantly impact the reported Pt-M stabilities as authors have observed high stabilities in PEM-based fuel cells and low stabilities in half-cell setups for identical materials [167]. In addition to reducing electrocatalytic activity, leaching transition metal and, to a lesser extent, Pt ions increase ohmic resistances and accelerate MEA degradation in membrane-based fuel cells [128,154,[168][169][170]. The dissolution results in a coreshell configuration consisting of underlying core transition metal atoms (e.g., Co, Fe), which cause stable enhancements to ORR activity of the protective Pt shell via geometric and electronic distortions [160,164,[171][172][173][174].…”
