The use of reactive binder for carbon-based oxygen reduction reaction catalyst in neutral medium

In this study, we report the use of reactive binding strategy to fix carbon-based oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) catalyst to metal current collector for the first time. Reactive binder, e.g. phenol-formaldehyde resin (PFR) oligomer, is developed as an alternative to the popularly used Nafion binder to bond carbon-based ORR catalyst, e.g. Pt/C (Pt loaded on VulcanX C72R carbon black), onto stainless steel (SS) current collector for use as...
