Abstract / Full Text
A comparative analysis of the microstructure and electrochemical behavior of a platinum PCN catalyst synthesized over a nitrogen-doped carbon support and a commercial Pt/C-electrocatalyst HiSPEC3000 is carried out. The PCN catalyst is characterized by a smaller size of platinum nanoparticles and exhibits not only a higher activity in oxygen reduction reaction but also a higher corrosion-morphological resistance in acidic media.
