This book describes a science and technology of a new type of electrocatalysts consisting of a single atomic layer of platinum on suitable supports. This development helped overcome three major obstacles?catalysts? cost, activity, and stability?for a broad range of fuel cell applications.
The volume begins with a short introduction to the science of electrocatalysis, covering four reactions important for energy conversion in fuel cells. A description follows of the properties of metal monolayers on electrode surfaces, and underpotential deposition of metals. The authors then describe the concept of Pt monolayer electrocatalysts and its implications and their synthesis by galvanic displacement of less-noble metal monolayers and other methods. The main part of the book presents a discussion of catalysts? characterization and catalytic properties of Pt monolayers for the four main reactions of electrochemical energy conversion: oxygen reduction and oxidation of hydrogen, methanol and ethanol. The book concludes with a treatment of scale-up syntheses, fuel cell tests, catalysts? stability and application prospects.Nebojsa Marinkovic obtained his PhD in Physical chemistry in 1992 at University of Belgrade. After postdoctoral experiences at University of Louisville and University of California, Davis he moved to Brookhaven National Laboratory to study electrocatalytic processes on noble metals. Currently he is an associate scientist at Columbia University and a member of Synchrotron Catalysis Consortium, a contributing user group that supports research at National Synchrotron Light Source II at BNL. He is also adjunct associat
