TLDR
In this article, the authors studied the mechanism of reaction in 85% orthophosphoric acid as a function of temperature and impurity level in the electrolyte, and showed that the rate constants and Tafel slopes are dependent on impurity adsorption.
Abstract
Oxygen electrode kinetics in 85% orthophosphoric acid have been studied as a function of temperature and impurity level in the electrolyte. It is shown that the mechanism of reaction is the same as that in N perchloric acid, and that rate constants and Tafel slopes are dependent on impurity adsorption. Hydrogen peroxide is not a significant reaction product, at least at high temperatures. The activation energy of the reaction at the reversible potential was determined to be

Effects of Microporous Layers in Polymer Electrolyte Fuel Cells

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of microporous layers in polymer electrolyte fuel cells are investigated. And the authors show that the effect of a micro-layer is to keep water out of the cathode gas diffusion layer and move it through the anode.

Particle size and structural effects in platinum electrocatalysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the structural and particle size effect on electrocatalysis is examined from the point of view of anodic hydrogen oxidation and cathodic oxygen reduction reactions, and a general idea on the correlations between surface microstructure and geometric model is presented, indicators of a direct correlation between particle size and catalyst support synergism are considered.
