摘要: This manuscript investigates the degradation of a Pt/Vulcan fuel cell catalyst under simulated start–stop conditions in an electrochemical half-cell. Identical location transmission electron microscopy (IL-TEM) is used to visualize the several different degradation pathways occurring on the same catalyst material under potential cycling conditions. The complexity of degradation on the nanoscale leading to macroscopic active surface area lossis demonstrated and discussed. Namely, four different degradation …
