 Northeastern UniversitySanjeev MukerjeeDistinguished Professor Academic Fuel Cells Topic 3Northeastern has unique capabilities to implement highly active corrosion-resistant electrocatalysts in conjunction with specially designed electrodes for lower mass transport. Electrocatalysts are based on the use of specialized designs using core shell structures with inner shell comprising of non-stoichiometric Nb and Ta supports. Approach has been proven to work in a previous DOE-EERE (FCTO office). Northeastern will focus on two innovations for achieving the targets laid out in the FOA. MEAs capable of high durability to meet 1,000,000-mile life expectancy (i.e., 25,000 hours), and low precious group metal loading for meeting cost targets (<0.2mg/cm2). Furthermore, any new technology aiming for these targets must be designed for high manufacturing in order to reduce commercialization time. This will be achieved via:
(a) Implementing line-of-sight technology developed earlier under DOE-EERE auspices referred to as the dual-ion-beam-assisted deposition technique, specifically focused on scalable coating of nanoparticles.
(b) Engineered carbon supports with tailored graphitic structure and idealized pore structure for cathode micro-porous layer implementation.
(c) Use of specific coating i.e., Nb doped Ti and Co-doped Ru-oxide as corrosion resistant coating on engineered carbon followed with Pt deposition, both deposited using line of sight technique.
Achieving high initial activity as per DOE specifications at low PGM loading has been recently shown to be achievable catalyst degradation is one of the major reasons for gradual performance loss and there is a growing consensus that platinum dissolution/sintering is a major factor limiting the lifetime of polymer electrolyte fuel cells, especially under varying load conditions and at the high potentials of the cathode. Carbon corrosion leads mainly to Pt detachment and/or Pt coarsening by weakened Pt-support interaction, which results in a lower electrochemically active Pt surface area. The formation of carbon oxides on the surface of the carbon makes the catalyst layer more hydrophilic and leads to the formation of a thin water film on the surface of carbon, resulting in enhanced proton conductivity within the catalyst layer and decreased mass transport from water flooding of hydrophilic pores, but is also a precursor to carbon corrosion. Correlation between composition, structure and morphological properties of anode/cathode components and catalyst layer are linked to catalyst performance loses.
