Graphite Nanofibers as an Electrode for Fuel Cell Applications
Abstract
The potential of graphite nanofiber supported platinum catalysts as an electrode for fuel cell applications was investigated using the electrochemical oxidation of methanol at 40 °C as a probe reaction. Various types of graphite nanofibers were used and the behavior of supported platinum particles on these materials compared to that when the metal was dispersed on Vulcan carbon (XC-72). Catalysts consisting of 5 wt % platinum supported on “platelet” and “ribbon” type graphite nanofibers, which expose mainly edge sites to the reactants, were found to exhibit activities comparable to that displayed by about 25 wt % platinum on Vulcan carbon. Furthermore, the graphite nanofiber supported metal particles were observed to be significantly less susceptible to CO poisoning than the traditional catalyst systems. This improvement in performance is believed to be linked to the fact that the metal particles adopt specific crystallographic orientations when dispersed on the highly tailored graphite nanofiber structures.

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.
