Sumario:In order to reduce the cost and improve the performance of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), it is imperative to further enhance the activity and durability of Pt based electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). This article analyzes the latest advances in Pt-based ORR electrocatalysts, including the Pt alloys, Pt–M core–shell structures, particle size effects, support effects, doping in Pt/PtM and post treatment. In addition, the performance of some of the developed novel electrocatalysts in membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) is also included for comparison, as they are rarely available and the superior activity and durability exhibited in RDE frequently doesn't translate into MEA.
