Platinum catalyst stability has been investigated under potentiostatic and potentiodynamic conditions with and without the presence of chloride anions. The combination of rotating disc electrode (RDE) and identical location scanning electron microscopy (IL-SEM) methods reveals that potentiodynamic degradation is much more severe compared to the potentiostatic and that chloride enhances platinum dissolution thus catalyst degradation. IL-SEM method nicely shows the platinum dissolution and redeposition on the top of a catalyst film.

Objective: Using electrochemical characterization methods of stimulation electrodes as well as accelerated stimulation examinations, a safe operating field for stimulation is investigated for particularly very large Pt-Ir macroelectrodes in a Laplace configuration.
Approach: Traditional methods such as Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy, Cyclic Voltammetry and biphasic, charge balanced current pulses were applied on Pt-Ir macroelectrodes in phosphate buffered saline solution to investigate reversible boundaries. These experiments were adapted to approach realistic working conditions.

Ultrafine Pt-based alloy nanoparticles supported on carbon substrates have attracted significant attention due to their catalytic potential. Nevertheless, ensuring the stability of these nanoparticles remains a critical challenge, impeding their broad application. In this work, novel nanodot arrays (NAs) are introduced where superfine alloy nanoparticles are uniformly implanted in a 2D carbon substrate and securely anchored.

Platinum particle growth during long-term operations is one of the well-known bottlenecks offsetting the performance and stability of Pt-based electrocatalysts in polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cells and PEM water electrolyzers. In this research, the addition of certain ceramic nanoparticulate additives to the catalyst ink was evaluated as a means of improving the electrochemical stability of a carbon-supported platinum (Pt/C) electrocatalyst in gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) during an accelerated stress test (AST). GDEs prepared using three nanoparticulate ceramic additives (TiN, ATO, and TiO) with three loadings (replacing 5, 10, and 15 wt % of the catalyst) were studied for their electrochemical performance, i.

The scanning gas diffusion electrode (S-GDE) half-cell is introduced as a new tool to improve the evaluation of electrodes used in electrochemical energy conversion technologies. It allows both fast screening and fundamental studies of real catalyst layers by applying coupled mass spectrometry techniques such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and online gas mass spectrometry. Hence, the proposed setup overcomes the limitations of aqueous model systems and full cell-level studies, bridging the gap between the two approaches.
