Title: Concentration Effects of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Degradation Products on Oxygen Reduction Activity for Three Platinum Catalysts

Abstract

A rotating disk electrode (RDE) along with cyclic voltammetry (CV) and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), were used to investigate the impact of two model compounds representing degradation products of Nafion and 3M perfluorinated sulfonic acid membranes on the electrochemical surface area (ECA) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of polycrystalline Pt, nano-structured thin film (NSTF) Pt (3M), and Pt/Vulcan carbon (Pt/Vu) (TKK) electrodes. ORR kinetic currents (measured at 0.9 V and transport corrected) were found to decrease linearly with the log of concentration for both model compounds on all Pt surfaces studied. Ultimately, model compound adsorption effects on ECA were more abstruse due to competitive organic anion adsorption on Pt surfaces superimposing with the hydrogen underpotential deposition (HUPD) region.

Impact of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Degradation Products on Oxygen Reduction Reaction Activity for Platinum Electrocatalysts

Journal Article Christ, J.; Neyerlin, K.; Wang, H.; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The impact of model membrane degradation compounds on the relevant electrochemical parameters for the oxygen reduction reaction (i.e. electrochemical surface area and catalytic activity), was studied for both polycrystalline Pt and carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts. Model compounds, representing previously published, experimentally determined polymer electrolyte membrane degradation products, were in the form of perfluorinated organic acids that contained combinations of carboxylic and/or sulfonic acid functionality. Perfluorinated carboxylic acids of carbon chain length C1 – C6 were found to have an impact on electrochemical surface area (ECA). The longest chain length acid also hindered the observed oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) performance, resultingmore »« less

Oxygen Reduction Reaction Measurements on Platinum Electrocatalysts Utilizing Rotating Disk Electrode Technique: II. Influence of Ink Formulation, Catalyst Layer Uniformity and Thickness

Journal Article Shinozaki, Kazuma; Zack, Jason; Pylypenko, Svitlana; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

Platinum electrocatalysts supported on high surface area and Vulcan carbon blacks (Pt/HSC, Pt/V) were characterized in rotating disk electrode (RDE) setups for electrochemical area (ECA) and oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) area specific activity (SA) and mass specific activity (MA) at 0.9 V. Films fabricated using several ink formulations and film-drying techniques were characterized for a statistically significant number of independent samples. The highest quality Pt/HSC films exhibited MA 870 ± 91 mA/mgPt and SA 864 ± 56 μA/cm² Pt while Pt/V had MA 706 ± 42 mA/mgPt and SA 1120 ± 70 μA/cm² Pt when measured in 0.1 M HClO₄,more »« less

Adsorption Characteristics of Perfluorosulfonic Acid Membrane Decomposition Products on a Platinum Electrode: An EQCM Study

Journal Article Christ, Jason; Staub, Charles; Richards, Ryan; ... - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

As hydrogen fuel cell vehicles move closer to mass commercialization, understanding the voltage losses due to contamination on low loading catalyst layers has become critical. It is imperative that contamination mechanisms are understood to mitigate these losses. In some cases, chemical breakdown of the polymer membrane can lead to formation of small molecules that can infiltrate and adsorb onto the catalyst layer, resulting in lower fuel cell performance and durability. Surface coverages of perfluorinated acid model compounds, representing polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) chemical degradation products, were studied using an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) with a polycrystalline platinum electrode.

Impact of Nickel Ions on the Oxygen Reduction Reaction Kinetics of Pt and on Oxygen Diffusion through Ionomer Thin Films

Journal Article Kariuki, Nancy; Myers, Deborah - Journal of the Electrochemical Society

The effects of dissolved nickel on the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics and oxygen transport properties of perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) thin films were investigated using rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements of ORR on a PFSA-coated platinum electrode. The electrochemical characterization in 0.1 M perchloric acid (HClO₄) with and without added Ni2+ quantitatively measured the impact of ionic interactions between the Ni²⁺ cations and sulfonate (SO₃^-) anions on oxygen transport through the PFSA thin film. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) curves in deaerated electrolyte showed that Ni²⁺ cations diffusing through the PFSA thin film interact with the Pt surface altering the hydrogen underpotentialmore »« less

Oxygen reduction reaction at three-phase interfaces.

Journal Article Subbaraman, R; Strmcnik, D; Paulikas, A; ... - ChemPhysChem

The kinetics of the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is studied at metal-supporting electrolyte-Nafion three-phase interfaces. We first demonstrate that the sulfonate anions of Nafion are specifically adsorbed on a wide range of surfaces ranging from Pt(hkl) single-crystal surfaces, Pt-poly, Pt-skin [produced on a Pt{sub 3}Ni(111) surface by annealing in ultrahigh vacuum, UHV] to high-surface-area nanostructured thin-film (NSTF) catalysts. The surface coverage by sulfonate and the strength of the Pt-sulfonate interaction are strongly dependent on the geometry and the nature of the Pt surface atoms. Also, they are found to behave analogous to (bi)sulfate anion-specific adsorption on these surfaces, where formore »« less
