doi:10.16085/j.issn.1000-6613.2020-2576

Abstract

Abstract:

Based on the conversion efficiency of PEMFC is mainly limited by the slow kinetics of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) on the cathode. The design of an efficient and stable low-platinum (Pt) catalyst will not only reduce the cost of the industrial application of PEMFC, but also can improve the performance of the catalyst. Currently, researchers have conducted a lot of research in this area, including the development of Pt nanostructures with adjustable crystal plane, high-index crystal plane and Pt-M (M is a transition metal) alloy. In this paper, the effects of different additives on the morphology of the synthesized ORR Pt-based catalysts were reviewed. The additives involved include protective agent, complexing agent, capping agent, reducing agent, dispersant, etc. Typically, the synthesis of Pt with regular tetrahedron, cube, octahedron and concave nano cube with high index plane by means of wet chemical method, electrodeposition method, alloy method and solvothermal method is presented specially.In addition, the future challenges and development direction of crystal surface control of Pt-based catalysts are summarized.
