Abstract(E) | Load cycle durability of niobium-doped tin oxide supported platinum (Pt/Nb-SnO2) was higher than one of graphitized carbon black supported platinum (Pt/GCB) during load cycling as a function of OCV holding time and cathode oxygen concentration. Chemisorbed oxygen species in the presence of the oxygen could affect the growth of the depletion layer on the surface of the Nb-SnO2 support for highly durable fuel cell cathode catalyst layers during load cycling. We found a novel degradation mechanism of Pt/Nb-SnO2 during load cycling, which helps to make Pt/Nb-SnO2 more suitable for automotive applications involving range extender fuel cells. |
