Abstract

Platinum loading as low as 0.05 mg/cm2 at the anode of the PEFC is desired for automotive applications. Hence, it is necessary to quantify the performance losses that may arise on reducing anode Pt loading from the present level of about 0.5 mg/cm2 to 0.05 mg/cm2. The present study focuses on hydrogen oxidation reaction for fuel cell anode with low Pt loadings. Hydrogen-pump experiments are conducted in conjunction with polarization studies to determine the performance losses at reduced Pt loadings arising due to Hydrogen Oxidation Reaction (HOR) and Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER).
