The work intends to clarify the effect of carbon black support corrosion on the stability of Pt/C catalyst. The corrosion investigations of carbon blacks with similar structures and characteristics were analyzed by cyclic voltammograms (CV) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results indicate that a higher oxidation degree appears on the Black Pearl 2000 (BP-2000) support, i.e. BP-2000 has a lower corrosion resistance than Vulcan XC-72 (XC-72). The durability investigation of Pt supported on the two carbon blacks was evaluated by a potential cycling test between 0.6 and 1.2 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE). A higher performance loss was observed on the Pt/BP-2000 gas diffusion electrode (GDE), compared with that of Pt/XC-72. XPS analysis suggests that higher Pt amount loss appeared in the Pt/BP-2000 GDE after durability test. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis also shows that Pt/BP-2000 catalyst presents a higher Pt size growth. The higher performance degradation of Pt/BP-2000 is attributed significantly to the less support corrosion resistance of BP-2000.
