Abstract

A Ti-Co/C catalyst was prepared using impregnation-reduction method and characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) methods. This study aimed to compare the result between matrix carbon Vulcan XC-72R  and Dots carbon which was applied to Ti-Co/C catalyst, also to compare the method of coating catalyst on GDL layer were Doctor Blade and spraying methods. The result was confirmed that Ti-Co/C with the ratio of Ti:Co 50:50, using Dots carbon as its matrix and spraying method preparation has ECSA value and conductivity respectively 28.72 cm2/g and 0.1688 x 10-3 S/cm, those were the highest value than another method. The conclusion of this study was non-platinum catalyst Ti-Co/C which used Dots carbon as a matrix and the spraying method showed a good response as a cathode catalyst of PEMFC

Abstract

This study explores the effect of hydrogen flow rate and humidifier temperature on the performance of the Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) using Ti-Co/C catalyst at the cathode and Pt/C at the anode in a single-cell Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). MEAs were fabricated by the spraying method and characterized using cyclic voltammetry (CV) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to determine their electrochemical surface area (ECSA) and conductivity. The results showed that the optimized ECSA value reached 8.38 cm2/g, and the electrical conductivity was 3.76 × 10-8 S/cm. The best performance was achieved at a hydrogen flow rate of 100 mL/min and room temperature humidification. Under the hydrogen flow rate test, the maximum power density reached 0.364 mW/cm2, while in the humidifier temperature variation, a maximum power density of 0.375 mW/cm2  was obtained at a current density 2.4 mA/cm2. These findings suggest that Ti-Co/C is a promising low-cost catalyst alternative to Pt and that operational conditions play a critical role in MEA performance
