  • Platinum has been used for the cathode catalyst.
  • platinum is expensive and has a high over-potential for the cathodic oxygen reduction reaction.
  • platinum is not stable in the harsh environment of the fuel cell. For instance, the elevated temperature and potential cycling may cause degradation of the chemical activity of platinum over time due to particle migration and dissolution.
