Abstract:In order to clarify the effect of both the Pt-loading and carbon supports in various commercial Pt/C anode catalysts on the chemical degradation rate of polymer electrolyte membranes (PEMs) in fuel cells, the membrane lifetime and fluoride emission rate (FER) were examined in a single cell with an accelerated stress test (AST) at 90 °C, while the H2O2 production rates, j(H2O2), at the Pt/C catalysts were measured in a half cell with 0.1 M HClO4 solution at 90 °C. It was demonstrated that the PEM degradation ra… Show more
