摘要
In this study, the corrosion resistance of two ordered, high surface area, mesoporous carbons (OMCs) were evaluated for PEM fuel cell applications, in comparison with microporous Vulcan carbon (VC). Using a hexagonal mesoporous silica as a hard template, the OMCs were synthesized using sucrose and anthracene as the carbon precursors, denoted as OMC-S and OMC-A, respectively. The corrosion testing protocol involved a potential cycling-step sequence between 1.4 V for 50 s and 0.8 V for 10 s, for a total of 18 cycles, all in room temperature 0.5 M H2SO4. The corrosion resistance of the carbons is found to be VC > OMC-A > OMC-S, which correlates with their degree of graphitization, as determined by X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis.
