{"product_id":"cefceptfec","title":"Platinum-Iron (Pt-Fe, Premetek) Alloy on Carbon Black as Electrocatalysts for Electrolyzer and Fuel Cell, 0.5 g\/bottle, CEFCEPtFeC","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlloying platinum with iron (Pt-Fe) is a strategic approach to overcome the limitations of pure Pt\/C, particularly in fuel cell cathodes. While Pt\/C is the \"standard,\" Pt-Fe alloys offer a significant boost in activity and a reduction in the use of expensive noble metals. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary application for Pt-Fe is the cathode of a Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC). (1) \u003cstrong\u003eEnhanced Activity (ORR)\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pt-Fe alloys are significantly more active for the Oxygen Reduction Reaction (ORR) than pure Pt. The \"ligand effect\" and \"strain effect\" from the iron atoms modify the electronic structure of the platinum surface, weakening the binding of oxygen-containing intermediates (OH and O) and allowing the reaction to proceed faster. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eReduced Pt Loading\u003c\/strong\u003e: Because the mass activity of Pt-Fe is typically 3 to 4 times higher than Pt\/C, manufacturers can achieve the same power output using significantly less platinum, which is the most expensive component of the stack. (3) \u003cstrong\u003eDurability \u0026amp; Intermetallics\u003c\/strong\u003e: To prevent iron from \"leaching\" into the membrane (which causes degradation), modern Pt-Fe catalysts are often synthesized as ordered intermetallic structures ($L1_0$ phase). This atomic arrangement locks the iron in place, making the catalyst more stable than a random alloy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn electrolyzers, Pt-Fe is less common but has specific niche uses: (1) \u003cstrong\u003eCathode (HER)\u003c\/strong\u003e: While Pt\/C is excellent for the Hydrogen Evolution Reaction (HER), researchers explore Pt-Fe to reduce costs. However, the performance gains over pure Pt for HER are generally less dramatic than for the ORR in fuel cells. (2) \u003cstrong\u003eStability Risk\u003c\/strong\u003e: The primary concern in electrolyzers is ion contamination. If iron ions (Fe^2+}\/Fe^3+) leach out of the alloy, they can catalyze the formation of radicals (Fenton reactions) that attack and pinhole the expensive PEM membrane. For this reason, highly stable intermetallic Pt-Fe or \"Pt-skin\" structures (where a pure Pt layer protects the alloy core) are required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePart Number\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCEFCEPtFe11C20\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCEFCEPtFe11C40\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCEFCEPtFe31C40\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eElectrocatalyst Composition\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly dispersed platinum-iron nanoparticles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVulcan XC-72 carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly dispersed platinum-iron nanoparticles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVulcan XC-72 carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly dispersed platinum-iron nanoparticles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVulcan XC-72 carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePlatinum-Iron Content\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e20 wt% Pt-Fe (1:1 ratio) (15.5 wt% Pt, 4.5 wt% Fe), 80 wt% carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 wt% Pt-Fe (1:1 ratio) (31.1 wt% Pt, 8.9 wt% Fe), 60 wt% carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e40 wt% Pt-Fe (3:1 ratio) (36.5 wt% Pt, 3.5 wt% Fe), 60 wt% carbon black\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eMetal Surface Area\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~200 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~75 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~60 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalyst BET Surface Area:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~200 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~150 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~150 m2\/g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eMetal Crystallite Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2-3 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e3-4 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e4-6 nm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatalyst granule size D(100)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 75 µm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 75 µm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 75 µm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eImpurities \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 500 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 500 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e≤ 500 ppm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003ePackage Size\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 g\/bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 g\/bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 g\/bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNotes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Please try to store the Pt-Fe\/C powder in a dry place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReferences\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41929-022-00796-1\"\u003eF.
