    Abstract

  • Abstract

    Although graphitic carbons, as a support for the cathode catalyst in proton exchange membrane fuel cells, have significant advantages in enhancing the corrosion resistance of the catalyst, the preparation of small-sized Pt particles on the graphitic carbon support often faces challenges due to its low porosity and lack of defect structures. Here, we report a mercaptopropane-assisted impregnation method to achieve size control of Pt nanoparticles on graphitic carbon. We show that mercaptopropane can coordinate with Pt during the impregnation process and transform into sulfur-doped carbon coatings through the subsequent thermal reduction process, which ensures the formation of small-sized Pt nanoparticles on graphitic carbon. Due to effective size control, the prepared cathode catalyst exhibited enhanced fuel cell performance compared to the catalyst prepared by the traditional impregnation method. We performed the accelerated stress test on the synthesized catalyst using the durability protocol recommended by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). After 5000 voltage cycles in the range of 1.0–1.5 V, the catalyst showed a negligible voltage loss of only 10 mV at a current density of 1.5 A·cm−2, meeting the DOE support durability target (30 mV).
