Optimization and Tunability of 2D Graphene and 1D Carbon Nanotube Electrocatalysts Structure for PEM Fuel Cells

Abstract: In this work, N-doped Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes (MWCNTs) and Few Graphene Layers (FGLs) have been functionalized with platinum nanoparticles using two methods starting with hexachloroplatinic acid as precursor: (i) ethylene glycol (EG) reduction and (ii) impregnation followed by reduction in hydrogen atmosphere. Morphological scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) analyses showed a homogenous dispersion of metal particles with narrow-size distribution onto both carbon supports (Pt/C loadings betw… Show more

“…Related to the electrode architecture, two papers explored fundamentally different methods for manipulating the pore structure of the support. Remy et al [2] used an interesting approach to reduce the dimensionality of the repeating unit of the carbon support material by replacing traditional carbon black with graphene and carbon nanotubes. Kamitaka and coworkers [3] uniquely explored a sacrificial nanostructured metal-oxide template to create the support architecture, which was then deployed successfully in a PEMFC.…”

“…Many metalcontaining catalysts are applied to improve half-reaction rates which contain the fuel cell in fuel cell engineering [64][65][66]. A typical type of fuel cell electrocatalyst is established upon platinum nanoparticles [66,67]. ey are supported on slightly larger carbon particles [66,67].…”

“…Used as catalyst supports, these materials have a positive effect on FC performance and can reduce the formation of surface oxides and corrosion currents. This is explained by the fact that thinner microlayers produced from carbon nanomaterial influence the performance by increasing gas permeability, electrical conductivity, and catalytic activity [13][14][15][16] while simultaneously normalizing the water balance of the FC due to the specific packing of graphene particles, leading to the appearance of micro-and macropores [17].…”
