“…Importantly, we also confirmed the outstanding antioxidation efficacy of CeO x NT by demonstrating the remarkable durability of the Pt/C + CeO x NT cathode. To evaluate PEMFC durability, we subjected the cathodes to a 100-hour OCV-holding durability test, which simulates a harsh acidic environment with the rapid formation of radical species [16,41,42]. and e) were 93 % and 94 %, respectively, significantly higher than those of the pristine Pt/C cathode (74 % and 78 %).…”
