The structure of the perfluorosulfonated ionomer (PFSI)/Pt(111) interface in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA)-like configuration of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, that is, a vacuum evaporated Pt layer/PEM(Nafion membrane)/PFSI(adhesion Nafion layer)/Pt(111) single crystal, and its bias-induced change were investigated by surface X-ray scattering measurement at an atomic level. Crystal truncation rod measurement shows that PFSI adsorbed on the Pt(111)-(1$$times$$1) surface without bias. When the Pt(111) electrode was positively biased to form Pt oxide, the PFSI layer was detached from the Pt surface and oxygen atoms penetrated into the Pt lattice.

Role of cerium oxide in the enhancement of activity for the oxygen reduction reaction at Pt-CeO$$_{x}$$ nanocomposite electrocatalyst; An in situ electrochemical X-ray absorption fine structure study

Masuda, Takuya*; Fukumitsu, Hitoshi*; Fugane, Keisuke*; Togasaki, Hirotaka*; Matsumura, Daiju; Tamura, Kazuhisa; Nishihata, Yasuo; Yoshikawa, Hideki*; Kobayashi, Keisuke*; Mori, Toshiyuki*; et al.

In situ electrochemical X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) measurements were performed at the Pt L$$_{3}$$ and Ce L$$_{3}$$ edges of the Pt-CeO$$_{x}$$/C catalyst, which was prepared by a combined process of precipitation and coimpregnation methods, as well as at the Pt L$$_{3}$$ edge of the conventional Pt/C catalyst in oxygen-saturated H$$_{2}$$SO$$_{4}$$ solution to clarify the role of CeO$$_{x}$$ in the reduction of the overpotential for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) at the Pt-CeO$$_{x}$$ nanocomposite compared with the conventional Pt/C catalyst. XAFS measurements clearly show that the enhancement of ORR activity is attributed to the inhibition of Pt oxide formation by the CeO$$_{x}$$ layer, of which Ce$$^{3+}$$ was oxidized to Ce$$^{4+}$$ instead of Pt at the Pt oxide formation potential.
