Synthesis of Durable Platinum Catalyst for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells in Bicontinuous Microemulsion (abstract)

Platinum nanoparticles are considered as one of the best catalyst for Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFCs) due to high catalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction and high stability in a harsh fuel cell conditions [1].Various techniques (liquid-phase, gasphase or vapor-phase) have been proposed for the production of the platinum nanoparticles, however obtaining monodisperse nanoparticles of a small size at a high yield is remaining an issue [2].
