Abstract:
Magnetron sputtering is an effective strategy for constructing the ordered catalyst layers (CLs) of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, different electrochemical properties of CLs are observed even when fabricated with similar magnetron sputtering technology. Herein, we proposed a detachable glass carbon electrode to explore the effect of the sputtering fabricating technology on electrochemical properties of CLs. Results show that increasing sputtering time or Ar gas pressure both improve the Pt loading of CLs, while increasing Ar gas pressure brings out the outstanding activity in electrochemical surface area, and mass activity of the ORR of CLs under high sputtering power. Furthermore, different substrate materials and post-processing are analyzed, and it is found that PANI substrate materials have a positive impact on electrochemical properties of CLs for their interaction with electrocatalysts, but the annealing treatment could not enhance the electrochemical properties of CLs. © 2025 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC
