abstract = {Knowledge of degradation pathways of catalyst/support
ensembles aids the development of rational strategies to
improve their stability. Here, this is exemplified using
indium tin oxide (ITO)-supported Platinum nanoparticles as
electrocatalysts at fuel cell (FC) cathodes under
degradation protocols to mimic operating conditions in two
potential regimes. The evolution of crystal structure,
composition, crystallite and particle size is tracked by in
situ X-ray techniques (small and wide angle scattering),
metal dissolution by in situ scanning flow cell coupled with
mass spectrometry (SFC ICP-MS) and Pt surface morphology by
advanced electron microscopy. In a regular FC operation
regime, Pt poisoning rather than Pt particle growth,
agglomeration, dissolution or detachment was found to be the
likely origin of the observed degradation and ORR activity
losses. In the start-up regime degradation is actually
suppressed and only minor losses in catalytic activity are
observed. The presented data thus highlight the excellent
nanoparticle stabilization and corrosion resistance of the
ITO support, yet point to a degradation pathway involving Pt
surface modifications by deposition of sub-monolayers of
support metal ions. The identified degradation pathway of
the Pt/oxide catalyst/support couple contributes to our
understanding of cathode electrocatalysts for polymer
electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC).},
