Precious-metal catalysts (predominantly Pt or Pt-based alloys supported on carbon) have traditionally been used to catalyze the electrode reactions in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells. However as PEM fuel systems begin to approach commercial reality, there is an impending need to replac
Using a conventional laboratory diffractometer, small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) was used to determine the average platinum particle size in samples of carbon with a range of platinum loadings. The results obtained were compared with those obtained from wide-angle X-ray diffraction (WAXS) studies
In this study, carbon-supported PtNi alloys with different molar ratios synthesized by borohydride reduction were evaluated as anode catalysts for sodium borohydride fuel cells. The higher angle shifts of the Pt peaks from X-ray diffraction (XRD) account for the alloy formation between Pt and Ni. Th
Hollow carbon spheres (HCSs) were prepared through a simple hydrothermal method using silica particles and glucose as the template and carbon precursor, respectively. HCSs used as supports for platinum catalysts deposited with cerium oxide (CeO 2 ) were prepared for application as anode catalysts in
