摘要
A study is presented on the degradation of platinum alloy cathode catalysts operated in phosphoric acid fuel cells. The impact of time and temperature on the fundamental decay mechanism was studied with a surface area loss model and experimental electrochemical surface area measurements. It is suggested that platinum particle migration on the carbon support surface is the dominant mechanism for surface area change in these catalysts. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
