Figure 1 Figure 1: (Left) Qualitative illustration of reactant transport through the working electrode (WE). The reactant (red) diffuses through the pores, into and through the ionomer film (blue), and reacts at the Pt (yellow) catalyst site. Carbon particles are represented in black. (Center) Enlarged image of agglomerate coated by ionomer thin-film.more » The image highlights the active and inactive regions of the agglomerate at limiting current. (Right) The ionomer induced resistance includes of a series of ionomer and Pt nanoparticle interface resistances and permeation resistance within the ionomer thin-film. The gas-phase transport resistance in secondary pores is composed of both molecular and Knudsen transport.« less
