摘要
This work is dedicated to the characterization of structure and composition change of the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) upon on-site proton-exchange membrane fuel-cell (PEMFC) operation (constant current load and start/stop conditions), with special emphasis on the Pt3Co/C cathode electrocatalyst. A fast degradation of the cathode catalytic layer was monitored. It yielded to the redistribution of both Pt and Co elements within the whole MEA, decrease of the MEA thickness and a continuous leaching of the surface/bulk Co atoms. The cell performance decay is discussed in the light of these changes.
