Oxygen reduction reaction on carbon supported dispersed platinum nanoparticles and extended platinum surfaces

To date, the cost of high platinum loadings in polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) remains one of the main deterrents preventing their broad commercialisation. The reaction of interest in this work is the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) occurring at the cathode side of the PEFC. The ORR has been...
