A Nickel-Based Pectin Metal-Organic Framework as a Hydrogen Oxidation Reaction Catalyst for Proton-Exchange-Membrane Fuel Cells

摘要

Environmentally friendly non-PGM (platinum group metal) anode catalyst made of nickel pectate, the biological raw material, was developed and tested in proton-exchange- membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). 5.2 mAcm-2 and 1.5 mWcm-2 , the maximum current density and the maximum power density of the developed catalyst, respectively, correspond to sufficiently high values of these characteristics for PEMFC with an anode without a PGM catalyst and a cathode with a platinum one.
