Abstract

We developed Pt nanoparticle/TiO 2 –carbon (TiO 2 –Pt/SC) and Pt nanoparticle/heat-treated TiO 2 –carbon (TiO 2 –Pt/SC–H) catalysts, which demonstrated superior oxygen reduction reaction activity compared to conventional Pt/C. Membrane electrode assembly tests confirmed high activity and enhanced stability.
