摘要

Carbon-supported Pt nanoparticles are the leading catalysts for the cathodeoxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells.However, these ORR catalysts suffer from poor electrochemical durability,particularly the loss of electrochemical surface area (ECSA) due to Pt nanoparticledissolution and agglomeration. Here, Pt loss is mitigated through aPickering emulsion-processing strategy that employs graphene nanoplateletdispersions stabilized by the polymer ethyl cellulose. The resulting graphene-Pt/Vulcan carbon (Pt/C) catalysts exhibit superior durability and ECSA retentionthroughout an accelerated stress test compared with a commercial Pt/Cstandard catalyst, both in a diagnostic-rotating disc electrode setup and in amembrane electrode assembly full cell. These graphene-Pt/C catalysts alsoimprove durability at high-voltage conditions, providing further evidence oftheir exceptional electrochemical stability. Consistent with density functionaltheory calculations, postelectrochemical characterization reveals that Ptnanoparticles localize at graphene defects both on the basal plane and especiallyat the edges of the graphene nanoplatelets. Since this Pt nanoparticlelocalization suppresses Pt nanoparticle dissolution and agglomerationwithout hindering accessibility of the reactant species to the catalyst surface,the ORR performance under both idealized and practical experimental conditionsshows significantly improved durability while maintaining high electrochemicalactivity.
