Pt-Based Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalysts in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Controllable Preparation and Structural Design of Catalytic Layer.

[PMID: 36500796 PMCID: PMC9735689 DOI: 10.3390/nano12234173] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2022] [Revised: 11/11/2022] [Accepted: 11/22/2022] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
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
The activity of Pt towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) can be enhanced by alloying it with secondary metals. They can be grouped into three different classes: alloys, bimetallics and intermetallics. Although alloys and bimetallics exhibit enhanced performance, often they are limited by metal dissolution and resulted in poor durability. This invokes the need on the development of ordered intermetallics. In this minireview we comprehensively present the recent progress and developments of Pt3 X alloys and intermetallics towards ORR. Additionally, major technical challenges and possible future research directions to overcome these challenges are discussed to facilitate further research in this area.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2020; 10:E2412. [PMID: 33276659 PMCID: PMC7761613 DOI: 10.3390/nano10122412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/19/2020] [Revised: 11/26/2020] [Accepted: 11/30/2020] [Indexed: 01/16/2023]
Abstract
Pt-SnO2@C-ordered flake array was developed on carbon paper (CP) as an integrated cathode for proton exchange membrane fuel cell through a facile hydrothermal method. In the integrated cathode, Pt nanoparticles were deposited uniformly with a small particle size on the SnO2@C/CP support. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis revealed lower impedance in a potential range of 0.3-0.5 V for the ordered electrode structure. An electrochemically active surface area and oxygen reduction peak potential determined by cyclic voltammetry measurement verified the synergistic effect between Pt and SnO2, which enhanced the electrochemical catalytic activity. Besides, compared with the commercial carbon-supported Pt catalyst, the as-developed SnO2@C/CP-supported Pt catalyst demonstrated better stability, most likely due to the positive interaction between SnO2 and the carbon coating layer.
