Abstract:
There have been extensive efforts to develop competitive electrocatalysts using carbon black (CB) supports for high-performance proton-exchange membrane fuel cells with less usage of Pt. Herein, we propose a very promising electrocatalyst architecture based on the three-dimensional Pt/indium tin oxide (ITO)/CB support structure which was enabled by a nonconventional deposition process ensuring very uniform impregnation of Pt and ITO nanoparticles into the CB network. The unusual scales of the Pt (∼1.9 nm) and ITO (∼5.6 nm) nanoparticles were directly related to unexpectedly better performance of the electrocatalytic activities. As a highlight, the electrochemical surface area of the electrocatalyst was maintained very well after the 3000 cycle-accelerated durability evaluation by demonstrating an excellent retention of ∼74.9%. Particularly, the CO tolerance exhibited a low value of ∼0.68 V as the absorption current peak, compared to ∼0.79 V for a commercial Pt/CB catalyst containing twice more Pt.

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
