In this work the Pt-Co/OMC as oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cathode was evaluated under fuel-free and fuel-propanol in acid electrolyte conditions. By RDE measurements the ORR on the alloy seems to proceed via 4 e- transfer mechanism in acid media. In presence of 2-Propanol the alloy shows a high degree of tolerance…

The Kirkendall effect is conditioned by active diffusion as well as by active sources and sinks for vacancies. In the case of grain boundaries under the condition of negligible bulk diffusion, the Kirkendall effect is highly localized and responsible for the formation of an extra material wedge in the grain boundary,…
