Typical catalyst inks in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are composed of a
catalyst, its support, an ionomer and a solvent and are used with solution processing …

This study presents a detailed review on the ultrathin catalyst layer (UTCL) design strategy
for high-performance proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Specifically, the …

Correlating the catalyst activity, selectivity, and stability with its structure and composition is
of the utmost importance in advancing the knowledge of heterogeneous electrocatalytic …

The catalyst layers of proton exchange membrane fuel cells are usually fabricated by (1)
mixing catalyzed carbon black, ionomer solution, and solvents to form an ink,(2) coating this …

In this paper, an extensive characterisation of a range of carbon blacks (CB) with similar
surface area but different surface chemistry is carried out by flow calorimetry, Raman …

Catalyst layers (CL), as an active component of the catalyst coated membrane (CCM), form
the heart of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). For optimum performance …

The mass transport and ion conductivity in the catalyst layer are important for fuel cell
performances. Here, we report an in situ-grown ultrathin catalyst layer (UTCL) to reduce the …

Hansen solubility parameters (HSPs), for particles understood as Hansen similarity
parameters, can provide valuable information about the surface behavior of nanoparticles. In …

Quantitative appraisal of real-world colloidal systems in their native state is key for
knowledge-based nanoparticle formulations. Analytical centrifugation (AC) is touted as a …

Electrochemically exfoliated graphene (eG) thin films on Nafion membranes exhibit a
