The effect of nanocatalyst size on performance and degradation in the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells

This thesis discusses the role of initial particle size on the mechanisms of surface area loss of carbon-supported platinum (Pt) electrocatalysts in the cathode of proton exchange membrane fuel cells. Electrocatalyst decay protocols were used to accelerate cathode performance loss for Pt catalysts....
