Abstract | Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are hindered by their poor tolerance to CO and H₂S poisoning. Herein, we report an effective method, via engineering 2,6-dihydroxymethyl pyridine (DhmPy) molecule blocking layers on Pt surface, aiming to save the poisoning issue for PEMFC anode reaction. The PEMFCs assembled by this catalyst produce a power density of 1.18 W cm⁻² @ 2.0 A cm⁻² and 1.32 W cm⁻² @ 2.0 A cm⁻², far exceeding commercial Pt/C after H₂/10 ppm CO poisoning and H₂/5 ppm H₂S poisoning tests, respectively. Density functional theory (DFT) indicates that a coronal molecule layer with a steric confinement height (1.82 Å), constructed by DhmPy, emerges more intensive adsorption energy compared to 2,6-pyridinedicarboxamide (DcaPy) and 2,6-diacetylpyridine (DAcPy), thereby more effectively inhibits the adsorption of large-sized CO and H₂S on Pt surface without affecting H₂ traverse. This “work along both lines” mechanism with the resistance of both CO and H₂S provides a new and promising design thought for high CO and sulfur tolerant PEMFC anodes. |
