A PEMFC electrode consisting of dual-layer catalyst layer(CL) was fabricated in this work.The outer CL was Nafion-free,while the inner CL was Nafion-bonded.The effects of Pt/C catalyst in the outer CL that did not contact with Nafion on the current generation in PEMFC electrodes were investigated.Cyclic voltammetric studies indicated that the Pt/C catalyst in the outer CL without direct contact with Nafion was still electrochemically active in taking part in the adsorption/desorption of hydrogen and the electrochemical oxidation/reduction of the oxygen-containing species occurring at the interface of "Pt/Nafion" in the inner CL.The polarization curves showed that the output voltage of the …

In this paper,the cerium oxide(CeO2) nanoparticles were electrochemically deposited on a Pt electrode by potentiostatic deposition(psd) and potential pulse deposition(ppd) to form CeO2/Pt composite electrodes,CeO2/Pt(psd) and CeO2/Pt(ppd).The properties of the CeO2 were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope(FESEM) and X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results showed that the CeO2 nanoparticles prepared by psd and ppd were homogeneous and dense.The methanol oxidation reaction(MOR) and oxygen reduction reaction(ORR) on the Pt electrode were enhanced with the introduction of CeO2 into Pt.In addition,the catalytic capability of the CeO2/Pt electrode can be further improved after dissolution of part of CeO2 on the composite electrode in H2SO4.The …
