The Priority and Challenge of High-Power Performance of Low-Platinum Proton-Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells [The Priority and Challenge of High-Power Performance of Low-Platinum PEMFCs]
Abstract
Substantial progress has been made in reducing proton-exchange-membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) cathode platinum loadings from 0.4-0.8 mgPt/cm2 to about 0.1 mgPt/cm2. However, at this level of cathode Pt loading, large performance loss is observed at high-current density (>1 A/cm2), preventing a reduction in the overall stack cost. This next developmental step is being limited by the presence of a resistance term exhibited at these lower Pt loadings and apparently due to a phenomenon at or near the catalyst surface. This issue can be addressed through the design of catalysts with high and stable Pt dispersion as well as through development and implementation of ionomers designed to interact with Pt in a way that does not constrain oxygen reduction reaction rates. Here, extrapolating from progress made in past decades, we are optimistic that the concerted efforts of materials and electrode designers can resolve this issue, thus enabling a large step towards mass-market-affordable fuel cell vehicles.
