Three-Dimensional Tracking and Visualization of Hundreds of Pt−Co Fuel Cell Nanocatalysts During Electrochemical Aging
Abstract
We present an electron tomography method that allows for the identification of hundreds of electrocatalyst nanoparticles with one-to-one correspondence before and after electrochemical aging. This method allows us to track, in three-dimensions, the trajectories and morphologies of each Pt-Co nanocatalyst on a fuel cell carbon support. In conjunction with the use of atomic-scale electron energy loss spectroscopic imaging, our experiment enables the correlation of performance degradation of the catalyst with changes in particle/interparticle morphologies, particle-support interactions, and the near-surface chemical composition. We found that aging of the catalysts under normal fuel cell operating conditions (potential scans from +0.6 to +1.0 V for 30,000 cycles) gives rise to coarsening of the nanoparticles, mainly through coalescence, which in turn leads to the loss of performance. The observed coalescence events were found to be the result of nanoparticle migration on the carbon support during potential cycling. This method provides detailed insights into how nanocatalyst degradation occurs in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) and suggests that minimization of particle movement can potentially slow down the coarsening of the particles and the corresponding performance degradation.

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.
