Abstract:
Durability is one of the most important characteristics of electrocatalysts used in low-temperature fuel cells with a proton exchange membrane. The degradation degree of deposited electrocatalysts containing platinum and platinum-copper nanoparticles with Pt-loading of about 20% by weight was assessed by voltammetric stress-testing, which corresponded to different mechanisms of degradation. The differences in the Pt
