Abstract
Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have attracted extensive attention because of their high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and lack of noise pollution. However, PEMFCs still face many difficulties in practical application, such as insufficient power density, high cost, and poor durability. The main reason for these difficulties is the slow oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode due to the insufficient stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst. Therefore, it is very important to develop advanced platinum (Pt)-based catalysts to realize low Pt loads and long-term operation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) modules to improve the performance of PEMFC. At present, the research on PEMFC has mainly been focused on two areas: Pt-based catalysts and the structural design of catalytic layers. This review focused on the latest research progress of the controllable preparation of Pt-based ORR catalysts and structural design of catalytic layers in PEMFC. Firstly, the design principle of advanced Pt-based catalysts was introduced. Secondly, the controllable preparation of catalyst structure, morphology, composition and support, and their influence on catalytic activity of ORR and overall performance of PEMFC, were discussed. Thirdly, the effects of optimizing the structure of the catalytic layer (CL) on the performance of MEA were analyzed. Finally, the challenges and prospects of Pt-based catalysts and catalytic layer design were discussed.

Abstract
Direct formate fuel cells (DFFCs) as promising energy technologies have been applied for portable and wearable devices. However, for the formate oxidation reaction (FOR), the deficiency of catalysts has prevented DFFCs from practical applications. Herein, we prepared a Pd-loaded CeO2 catalyst through a simple steam treatment at 400 °C to enhance the catalytic FOR performance. In comparison with the counterpart of Pd/CeO2 without stream treatment, the as-prepared Pd/CeO2-ST catalyst has a lower onset potential of 381 mV and a lower peak potential of 0.64 V with a higher peak current of 10.62 mA cm-2. The experimental results show that the enhanced FOR properties of Pd/CeO2-ST are ascribed to the introduction of surface reactive oxygen species to the CeO2 substrate, which substantially promotes the desorption of adsorbed hydrogen (H*) intermediates. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations reveal that on the surface of CeO2, the abundant oxygen vacancies boost the OH* adsorption ability and accelerate the kinetics of the potential-limiting step. This work not only proposes a new strategy for enhancing the activity of FOR catalysts but also highlights the understanding of the FOR mechanism in alkaline media for DFFC applications.
