摘要

In recent years, Fe-N-C catalyst is particularly attractive due to its high oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and low cost for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). However, the durability problems still pose challenge to the application of Fe-N-C catalyst. Although considerable work has been done to investigate the degradation mechanisms of Fe-N-C catalyst, most of them are simply focused on the active-site decay, the carbon oxidation, and the demetalation problems. In fact, the 2e pathway in the ORR process of Fe-N-C catalyst would result in the formation of H O , which is proved to be a key degradation source. In this paper, a new insight into the effect of potential on degradation of Fe-N-C catalyst was provided by quantifying the H O intermediate. In this case, stability tests were conducted by the potential-static method in O saturated 0.1 mol/L HClO . During the tests, H O was quantified by rotating ring disk electrode (RRDE). The results show that compared with the loading voltage of 0.4 V, 0.8 V, and 1.0 V, the catalysts being kept at 0.6 V exhibit a highest H O yield. It is found that it is the combined effect of electrochemical oxidation and chemical oxidation (by aggressive radicals like H O /radicals) that triggered the highest H O release rate, with the latter as the major cause.
