催化剂的老化是导致燃料电池性能衰减的重要因素之一.对于低温燃料电池,贵金属催化剂的老化主要体现在粒径的增长、金属氧化态的改变、组分的迁移和流失以及碳载体的腐蚀四个方面.本文综述了低温燃料电池贵金属催化剂老化方面的最新研究进展,探讨了导致催化剂老化的主要原因.
Catalyst aging is one of the most important factors that results in the performance losses in fuel cells. For low temperature fuel cells, the aging of noble metal catalysts manifests itself in the growth of catalyst particles, the oxidation changing of noble metals, the migration and loss of catalyst components, and the corrosion of carbon supports. In this paper, the latest progresses in the aging of noble metal catalysts in low temperature fuel cells were reviewed, and the four factors responsible for the catalyst aging were discussed.
