Bimetallic Cu/Pt Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyst for Fuel Cells Cathode Materials

Bimetallic Cu/Pt Oxygen Reduction Reaction Catalyst for Fuel Cells Cathode Materials

The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a key process for the operation of fuel cells. To accelerate the sluggish kinetics of ORR, a wide range of catalysts have been proposed and tested. In this work, a nano-dispersed copper-impregnated platinum catalyst prepared by electrodeposition of platinum on...
