摘要：

We describe a study of the oxygen reduction kinetics at the Pt/recast Nafion(R) interface employing a minicell based on a filmed microelectrode. The experimental conditions are identical to those in polymer-electrolyte fuel cells in that the recast ionomer electrolyte is exposed only to water vapor. We find that the interfacial rate of oxygen reduction near 0.9 V is similar for the Pt/recast ionomer interface and for Pt immersed in dilute aqueous acid solutions. A significant loss of oxygen reduction activity occurs when the recast ionomer electrolyte loses water. We discuss a possible evaluation of catalyst utilization in polymer electrolyte fuel cells.
