Mass loss additive product testing

A controlled porosity is of significant importance in fuel cell applications, since mass transport of the reactants to and the products away from the catalytically active sites plays an essential role in the device performance. It has been observed that the structural collapse of the electrode during durability tests impacts the performance of the fuel cell even more than the loss of active platinum particles [11], In addition to the tailored properties, which can be achieved by rational design of the template, another advantage is that the synthesis route is comparatively simple and not too expensive to be developed to industrial scale.
