Theoretical Study on Solubility from Pt Electrocatalyst and Reactivity in Electrolyte Environment of Pt Complex in PEFC

We theoretically analyzed the formation energy and solvation free energy of Pt(II) and Pt(IV) complexes with three types of ligands (H2O, OH−, and CF3SO3 −) in electrolyte environment under the low- and high-humidity conditions to study the Pt electrocatalyst degradation and dissolution mechanisms f...
