Abstract:
A fuel cell catalyst support includes a support structure having a metal oxide and/or a metal phosphate coated with a layer of boron carbide. Example metal oxides include titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, tungsten oxide, tantalum oxide, niobium oxide and oxides of yttrium, molybdenum, indium, and tin and their phosphates. A boron carbide layer is arranged on the support structure by a chemical or mechanical process, for example. Finally, a catalyst layer is deposited on the boron carbide layer.
Abstract:
A method for removing a surfactant from a palladium nanoparticle includes exposing the palladium nanoparticle to hydrogen and removing the surfactant from the palladium nanoparticle. A method includes synthesizing a palladium nanoparticle using a surfactant. The surfactant influences a geometric property of the palladium nanoparticle and bonds to the palladium nanoparticle. The method also includes exposing the palladium nanoparticle to hydrogen to remove the surfactant from the palladium nanoparticle.
Abstract:
A catalytic particle for a fuel cell includes a palladium nanoparticle core and a platinum shell. The palladium nanoparticle core has an increased area of {100} or {111} surfaces compared to a cubo-octahedral. The platinum shell is on an outer surface of the palladium nanoparticle core. The platinum shell is formed by deposition of an atomically thin layer of platinum atoms covering the majority of the outer surface of the palladium nanoparticle.
Abstract:
A method for forming catalytic nanoparticles includes forming core-shell catalytic nanoparticles and processing the core-shell catalytic nanoparticles. The core-shell catalytic nanoparticles have a palladium core enclosed by a platinum shell. The core-shell catalytic nanoparticles are processed to increase the percentage of the surface area of the core-shell catalytic nanoparticles covered by the platinum shell.
Abstract:
A supported catalyst includes a plurality of support particles that each include a carbon support and a layer disposed around the carbon support. The layer is selected from a metal carbide, metal oxycarbide, and combinations thereof. A catalytic material is disposed on the layers of the support particles.
Abstract:
A fuel cell catalyst comprises a support having a core arranged on the support. In one example, the core includes palladium nanoparticles. A layer, which is gold in one example, is arranged on the core. A platinum overlayer is arranged on the gold layer. The intermediate gold layer greatly increases the mass activity of the platinum compared to catalysts in which platinum is deposited directly onto the palladium without any intermediate gold layer.
Abstract:
A supported catalyst is prepared by a process that includes establishing shell-removal conditions for a supported catalyst intermediate that includes capped nanoparticles of a catalyst material dispersed on a carbon support. The capped nanoparticles each include a platinum alloy core capped in an organic shell. The shell-removal conditions include an elevated temperature and an inert gas atmosphere that is substantially free of oxygen. The organic shell is removed from the platinum alloy core under the shell-removal conditions to limit thermal decomposition of the carbon support and thereby limit agglomeration of the catalyst material such that the supported catalyst includes an electrochemical surface area of at least 30 m 2 /g Pt .
