Table 1. Open circuit voltage (OCV), current density and maximum power density generated by various PEMFCs based on Ni–CNT, Co–N–C or Pt catalysts; PEMFCs were measured at 60 °C with a supply of partially humidified H2 (20 mL min–1) at the anode and passive air convection at the cathode.
Anode | Cathode | OCV/V | I@0.2 V/μA cm–2 | P max/μW cm–2 |
Pt | Co–N–C | 0.79 | 1.3 × 104 | 2600 |
Ni–CNT | Pt | 0.85 | 224 | 70 |
Ni–CNT | Co–N–C | 0.74 | 94 | 23 |
Pt | Pt | 1.00 | 1.75 × 105 | 1.05 × 103 |
