Abstract:Fuel cells are advanced CO2 emission-free generators that are currently used for automobiles. Since the cost of platinum group metal (PGM) catalysts for both hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is too high, switching to alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) is necessary. However, the alkaline media is much more challenging for HOR since extra energy is required to generate proton from hydroxide anion [1]. In addition, the alkaline durability of PGM/C catalysts is not granted, because Pt … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
