Platinum-Alloy Cathode Catalyst Degradation in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells: Nanometer-Scale Compositional and Morphological Changes

Electrochemical measurements showed an ≈75% Pt surface area loss and an ≈40% specific activity loss for a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) cathode with acid-treated "Pt[subscript 3]Co " catalyst particles in a H[subscript 2]/N[subscript 2] proton exchange membrane fuel cell after 24h volt...
