  3. Introduction • The high temperature polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells(HT-PEMFCs) technology is particularly attractive for transportationapplication, because they do not use the conventional Nafionbased membranes and are exceptionally clean, producing noneof the harmful emissions generally associated with combustionengines. • Platinum based catalystsare recognized as the best electrocatalysts for use in PEMFCsand phosphoric acid fuel cells. • However, the success of the fuel cell commercializationmust entail the use of less expensive materials both in the electrolytemembrane and in the cathode catalyst. • Metal oxide-promoted Pt catalysts (PtWO3/C,PtMnO2/C, PtCrO2/C, PtV2O5/C) are more active than pure Ptcatalysts.

  4. Introduction • This work focuses onthe preparation and characterization of Pt/SnOx/C, with varyingSnOcompositions, as cathode catalyst for PBI-based HT-PEMFC. • Fuel cell performance measurements, in the temperature regime160–200 ◦C, and durability test up to 200 h were done in ordertodetermine their stability and feasibility as cathode catalyst forHT-PEMFCs.

  21. Conclusions • Hightemperature PEMFC measurements performed using PBI-basedMEAs showed good performance when using catalysts containing7wt.% SnO in the cathode. • With higher concentrations of tin oxide theperformance decreased as a result of mass transport limitationswithin the electrode, as confirmed by impedance spectroscopymeasurements. • Durability tests performed during a 200 h time interval at 180 ◦Cand 200mAcm−2 showed that Pt/SnO/C catalysts were stableunder fuel cell working conditions. • The good performance anddurability of the Pt/SnO/C catalysts make them good alternativesfor cathodes for high temperature PEMFCs.
