Electrocatalysis on PtZn surface - fundamental studies and the applications in PEM fuel cells

The PtZn alloy was characterized and studied as a possible candidate for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Zn was electrochemically deposited on a bulk Pt substrate and the alloy was spontaneously formed at ambient conditions, as confirmed by Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). PtZn decre...
