The Leaching of Cobalt in Platinum-Cobalt Fuel Cell Catalysts by Ranganthan, Omishka

“…In addition, tests involving a similar methodology with the catalyst or catalyst ink were conducted, which allowed accurate time on stream data of the leaching process. Three different catalysts – PtCo/C, PtCo2/C and Pt3Co/C were synthesised using an organometallic chemical deposition synthesis method and characterised XRD and SEM-EDS analyses. …”
