Abstract:Large scale use of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) technology remains in its infancy owing to high costs, performance and durability challenges. Novel platinum-based electrocatalysts have been developed to improve catalytic activity and overall durability in acidic environments. Of note is the synthesis of binary Pt3Ni in a rhombic dodecahedral shape with a Pt skin.[1] These nanoparticles demonstrate very high specific/mass activities and are comparably durable over 10,000 potential cycles.
