| Abstract: | The present invention provides a carbon-free electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) in polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). Described herein is a Pt decorated carbon-free catalyst with solid-state proton conducting zirconium phosphate (ZrP) as support material for PEMFC. The invention further describes the process for obtaining said Pt decorated conducting zirconium phosphate (ZrP) as support material as proton conductor. Also, the present invention relates to an efficient proton conductor which optimizes utilization of Ptcatalyst thereby improving the performance of the PEMFC. The carbon-free system alleviates the problem of carbon-corrosion leading to detachment of Pt-nanoparticles. |
