Thesis

Quantitative structural and compositional studies of catalyst nanoparticles using imaging and spectroscopy in STEM

Abstract:

The thesis aims to develop methods to explore how catalyst structure and composition affect catalytic performance of nanoparticles used in Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC)applications. Using Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM), the structure and composition of Pt and Pt-Co catalysts are explored with the intent of designing better catalysts. Catalysts such as pure Pt and alloyed Pt-Co ensembles are hugely popular in the PEMFC industry due to their catalytic activity ...
