Abstract

The present study aims to address the effect of the uniformity of particle size distribution on Pt stability. A theoretical model based on the chemical reactions of Pt oxidation and precipitation in the membrane is presented. The incorporation of a particle size distribution function and a population balance allows the investigation of different initial particle size distributions. Initial results demonstrate the change of platinum ions concentration across the electrode and membrane and reveal the shift of particle size distribution towards larger diameters under potential hold and potential cycling simulations.
