Typical Examples of Analysis

Catalyst stability is very important for the long-term operation of the catalyst in practical applications. Thermal analysis has been widely applied as a useful method to characterize the stability of catalysts. This section describes some representative examples of the application of thermal analysis to fuel cell 

Nafion. The decomposition temperature for Nafion in air was 300 °C. The thermal decomposition temperature of Nafion in the catalyst layers was lowered by about 100 °C in the presence of Pt/C catalysts. This indicates that Pt also catalyzed the decomposition of Nafion in the PEM fuel cell catalyst layers. The third mass loss region is due to carbon oxidation.
