主 题：proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) octahedral PtNi/C oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) durability membrane electrode assembly (MEA)
摘 要：Octahedral PtNi/C catalysts have demonstrated superior catalytic performance in oxyge n reduction reacti on (ORR) over commercial Pt/C with rotating disk electrode (RDE). However, it is not trivial to translate such promising results to real-world membrane-electrode assembly (MEA). In this work, we have synthesized octahedral PtNi/C catalysts using poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PDDA) as a capping age nt and in vestigated their performance from RDE to MEA. In RDE, mass activity and specific activity of the optimized octahedral PtNi/C catalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) are nearly 19 and 28 times high of the state-of-the-art commercial Pt/C, respectively. At MEA level, the octahedral PtNi/C catalyst exhibits excelle nt power generation performa nee and durability paired with commercial Pt/C ano de. Its cell voltage at 1,000mA·cm^-2 reaches 0.712 V, and maximum power density is 881.6 mW·cm^-2 and its performance attenuation is also less, around 11.8% and 7% under galvanostatic condition of 1,000 mA·cm^-2 for 100 h. Such results are investiaged by thermodynamic analysis and fundametal performance modeling, which indicate the single cell performance can be further improved by reducing the size of PtNi/C catalyst agglomerates. Such encouraging results have demonstrated the feasibility to convey the superior performance of octahedral PtNi/C from RDE to MEA.
