Abstract

The research, part of an international collaboration between BRICS countries, was conducted by scientists from S.P. Korolev Samara National Research University, the A.N. Frumkin Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Russia), Beijing University of Chemical Technology, China, and the International Advanced Research Center for Powder Metallurgy and New Materials (India). This article presents the key results of the Russian team’s research on the development of catalysts with minimal platinum content, as well as non-platinum catalysts for alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) operating in the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR). Carbon materials were used as supports, and the influence of the nature of the carbon supports, dopants, and modifiers (platinum, molybdenum, silver, palladium, iron, nickel, cobalt, etc.) on the catalytic performance of the resulting materials in ORR and HOR was studied.
Testing the synthesized catalysts in an electrochemical cell showed that the catalyst based on mesoporous carbon modified with 7% palladium (SMK-3_Pd) is comparable in performance to a commercial platinum catalyst containing 40% Pt and exhibits high corrosion resistance
