摘要: One of the processes responsible for performance degradation a polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is loss electrochemically active surface area platinum-based electrocatalysts, due in part to platinum dissolution. The long-term dissolution behavior polycrystalline and high-surface-area carbon-supported particles was studied under potentiostatic conditions relevant PEFC cathode conditions. equilibrium concentration dissolved Pt found increase monotonically from 0.65 1.1 V (vs SHE) decrease at potentials >1.1 V. Dissolution rates measured 0.9 were comparable two types electrodes (1.4 1.7 × 10 -14 g/cm 2 s).
