Effect of Di-phenyl Siloxane on the Catalytic Activity of Pt on Carbon

The effect of silicone on the catalytic activity of Pt for oxygen reduction and hydrogen adsorption was studied using di-phenyl siloxane as a source compound at a rotating disc electrode (RDE). Di-phenyl siloxane did not affect the catalytic activity of Pt when it was injected into the electrolyte....

description The effect of silicone on the catalytic activity of Pt for oxygen reduction and hydrogen adsorption was studied using di-phenyl siloxane as a source compound at a rotating disc electrode (RDE). Di-phenyl siloxane did not affect the catalytic activity of Pt when it was injected into the electrolyte. However, it blocked the oxygen reduction reaction when it was premixed with the catalyst. Proton transport was not blocked in either case. We postulate that di-phenyl siloxane induces hydrophobicity and causes local water starvation thereby blocking oxygen transport. Hence, the slow leaching of silicone seals in a fuel cell could cause silicon accumulation in the electrode, which will irreversibly degrade fuel cell performance by blocking oxygen transport to the catalyst sites.
