Abstract

To design low-cost and efficient cathode electrocatalysts and push forward the commercialization of fuel cells, low platinum content catalyst supported on nitrogen and phosphorus-codoped carbon nanotubes (Pt/NP-CNTs) for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) were prepared. Electrochemical tests demonstrated that the Pt/NP-CNTs catalyst exhibited much high ORR activity and remarkable stability in acidic media due to the strong interaction between NP-CNT support and Pt catalyst evidenced by the calculation of the density functional theory, showing a good potential application for a future low-cost proton exchange membrane fuel cell device.
