摘要

In the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) state of the art, rare and expensive platinumgroup metals (PGM) or PGM alloys are used as catalyst material. Reduction of PGMs in PEMFCelectrodes is strongly required to reach cost targets for this technology. An optimal catalyst utilizationis achieved in case of nano-structured particles supported on carbon material with a large specificsurface area. In this study, graphitic material, in form of carbon nanofibers (CNF), is decorated with Ptparticles, serving as catalyst material for PEMFC electrodes with low Pt loading. As a novelty, theeffect of oxygen plasma treatment of CNFs previously to platinum particle deposition has beenstudied. Electrodes are investigated in respect of the optimal morphology, microstructure as well aselectrochemical properties. Therefore, samples are characterized by means of scanning electronmicroscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray analysis, transmission electron microscopy,thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction as well as X-ray fluorescence analysis. In order to determine theelectrochemical active surface area of catalyst particles, cyclic voltammetry has been performed in 0.5M sulphuric acid. Selected samples have been investigated in a PEMFC test bench according to theirpolarization behavior.
