Oxygen Enrichment Effect Of Mno_2-Pt/C Compound Catalyst To The Cathode Of Pemfc, Hong-Feng Xu, Mao-Feng Zhang, Quan-Quan Gan, Cai-Sheng Huang

Journal of Electrochemistry

TO study of the oxygen storage material of air cathode is crucial for increasing performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cell.Using the MnO2 as oxygen storage materials,a MnO2-Pt/C catalysts were prepared and is used to replace the conventional Pt/C in air cathode.The electrochemical performance of air cathode composed of MnO2 supported on Pt/C and the properties of fuel cell composed of MnO2-Pt/C were investigated by using the CV,galvanostatic dischange method and TEM.

A method for the electrochemical extraction of oxygen is prasented.The concentration of HO2-ions and the purity of oxygen were measured by KMnO4 standard method,and by cuprammonium absorb method respectively.Effect of the membrane and the spacing between cathode and anode on the purity of oxygen were also tested.The experiment results were showed that the system could work continuously above 500h and the purity of oxygen was above 99.8% when using proper membrane at 80 mA·cm-2 current density,Electrochemical reaction included 4e reacting course and 2e reacting course,the ratio of 2e reaction is about 38%~44% of the whole reaction.
