Probing of complex carbon nanofiber paper as gas-diffusion electrode for high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell.

ABSTRACT: The development of fuel cells is an important part of alternative energy studies. High-temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (HT-PEMFC) is a very promising and commercialized type of fuel cell since it allows the use of hydrogen contaminated with CO. However, current advances in HT-PEMFC are based on searching for more sustainable materials for the membrane electrode assembly. The key issue is to find new, more stable carbonaceous Pt-electrocatalyst supports instead of the traditional carbon black powder. In the present study, we primarily demonstrate a new electrode design concept. Complex carbon nanofiber paper (CNFP) electrodes, obtained by polyacrylonitrile (PAN) electrospinning with further pyrolysis at 900-1200 °C, are suitable for platinum deposition and were probed as
