Surface Research for Development of New Electrocatalysts for Acid Electrolyte Fuel Cells,

Abstract

The mechanisms of selected electrochemical reactions are very similar to the mechanisms of the appropriate heterogeneous catalytic gas reactions. Therefore heterogeneous catalytic reactions can be utilized to screen materials for their potential applicability as electrocatalysts in fuel cells. Similarly, surface research on supported catalysts supplies invaluable information of the chemical interaction between catalyst and substrate and thus furthers the development of electrocatalysts with increased temperature stability.
