Abstract

Toward the next-generation fuel cell systems, the development of a novel electrocatalyst for the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (PEFC) is crucial to overcome the drawbacks of the present electrocatalyst. As a conductive supporting material for the catalyst, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as a promising candidate because they have many remarkable electronic properties. In this chapter, we summarize unique properties of polymer (polybenzimidazole)-coated CNT-based catalysts for high-temperature (HT) PEFC and discuss their potential as a new electrocatalyst for the HT-PEFC in comparison with the conventional ones. We focus on the very high durability of the CNT-based catalysts under high temperature and non-humidified operation as well as conventional low temperature and high humidified operation.
