Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have displayed enormous promise as potential power sources for stationary and mobile applications. Key material challenges obstruct the path towards widespread commercialization of PEMFC technology. These challenges primarily include lowering the cost of cell components and improving their durability for attainment of greater lifetime.

520 $a Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) have displayed enormous promise as potential power sources for stationary and mobile applications. Key material challenges obstruct the path towards widespread commercialization of PEMFC technology. These challenges primarily include lowering the cost of cell components and improving their durability for attainment of greater lifetime.
520 $a PEMFC electrodes employ expensive electrocatalysts such as platinum. The target for researchers is to obtain maximum catalytic activity while utilizing lower catalyst loadings. Novel carbon structures such as carbon nanofibers and activated carbon act as platinum catalyst supports by allowing homogeneous deposition of fine catalyst particles on their surfaces. Chemical functionalization of their inert surface is necessary to deposit platinum. Particle size of deposited platinum is dependent on a variety of factors, prominently nature of the functionalized support and the experimental parameters involved in platinum deposition. Part I of this work has employed the 'colloidal' method of supported catalyst synthesis for homogenous deposition of platinum catalyst on the functionalized carbon supports, under optimized preparation conditions. A relationship has been established between the variation in platinum particle size with nature of the chemically modified carbon surface, its surface treatment and processing variables. Electrochemical parameters such as the electrochemically active surface area of platinum on various carbons and activity of the supported platinum catalyst towards oxygen reduction have been determined. Membrane electrode assemblies (MEA) have been fabricated using various carbon supported catalysts and NafionRTM membranes and fuel cell performances for the MEAs have been compared. An attempt has been made to isolate and identify the effect of electrical conductivity of the carbon support, and microstructure of the carbon electrode on fuel cell response of the MEA.
520 $a In part II of this dissertation, accelerated degradation of Nafion RTM membrane is accomplished by a popular peroxide attack regime known as Fenton's degradation. The evolution of fluoride with constant degradation is measured and a correlation made with simultaneous changes in the morphology and thermomechanical characteristics of the membrane. Morphological and thermomechanical characteristics of the degraded membrane have been compared to those of an undegraded membrane sample along with corresponding fuel cell performances.
