Abstract: | The performance of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells fabricated with different catalyst loadings (20, 40 and 60 wt.% on a carbon support) was examined. The membrane electrode assembly (MEA) of the catalyst coated membrane (CCM) type was fabricated without a hot-pressing process using a spray coating method with a Pt loading of 0.2 mg cm−2. The surface was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The catalysts with different loadings were characterized by X-ray diffraction and cyclic voltammetry. The single cell performance with the fabricated MEAs was evaluated and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was used to characterize the fuel cell. The best performance of 742 mA cm−2 at a cell voltage of 0.6 V was obtained using 40 wt.% Pt/C in both the anode and cathode. |
