Carbon in various forms is commonly used in phosphoric acid fuel cells and proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) as a catalyst support, gas-diffusion media (GDM), and bipolar plate material (Dicks 2006). Among these carbon materials, carbon black is used as a catalyst support for PEMFC apphcation because of its unique pn tolies... [Pg.17]

Abstract To date, microcalorimetry of CO adsorption onto supported metal catalysts was mainly used to study the effects induced by the nature and the particle size of supported metallic clusters, the conditions of pretreatment and the support materials on the surface properties of the supported metallic particles. The present chapter focuses on the employ of adsorption microcalorimetry for studying the interaction of carbon monoxide with platinum-based catalyst aimed to be used in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) applications.

The required properties of solid polymer electrolyte membranes may be divided into interfacial and bulk properties [9]. As described above, the interfacial characteristics of these membrane materials are important for the optimum formation of the three-phase boundary. Hence, flow properties, gas solubility, wetting of carbon supported catalyst surfaces by the polymer, etc. are of paramount importance. The bulk properties concern proton conductivity, gas separation, and mechanical properties. This whole ensemble of properties has to be considered and balanced in the development of novel proton-exchange membranes for fuel cell application. [Pg.7]
