Abstract

The electrochemical oxidation of carbon is a pivotal problem for low-temperature electrochemical generators, among which are proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), and (non)aqueous-electrolyte Li–air batteries. In this contribution, the structure-sensitivity of the electrochemical corrosion of high-surface area carbon (HSAC) used to support catalytic materials in PEMFC electrodes is investigated in model (liquid electrolyte, 96 h potentiostatic holds at different electrode potentials ranging from 0.40 to 1.40 V at T = 330 K) and real PEMFC operating conditions (solid polymer electrolyte, 12,860 h of operation at constant current). Characterizations from Raman spectroscopy demonstrate that the disordered domains of HSAC supports (amorphous carbon and defective graphite crystallites) are preferentially oxidized at voltages related to the PEMFC cathode (0.40 < E < 1.00 V). Excursions to high electrode potential E > 1.00 V, witnessed during start-up and shut-down of PEMFC systems, accelerate this phenomenon and propagate the electrochemical oxidation to the graphitic domains of the HSAC. Thanks to X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, a better understanding of the relationships existing between structural changes and carbon surface oxides coverage is also emerging for the first time.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
