In practice, the RDE methodology has been highly variable across laboratories, with up to 20% differences in values for the Pt electrochemical surface area and 10x differences in mass activity and area-specific activity reported from the same standard Pt\/C electrocatalyst. We confirm that the same ORR activities can be replicated across laboratories when a detailed experimental protocol is followed. From our work and others&rsquo;, we conclude that dominant factors in the RDE experimental protocol include the ink formulation, electrocatalyst film quality and the electrochemical procedures. We make a recommendation for procedures for the reproducible characterization of Pt\/C commercial catalysts, present simple metrics for researchers to use for a quick check of their results, and also propose new benchmark values for two Pt\/C standards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DOI: 10.1149\/2.036405jes Authors: Yannick Garsany, Junjie Ge, Jean St\u2010Pierre, Richard Rocheleau, Karen Swider\u2010Lyons Abstract: Rotating disk electrode (RDE) voltammetry has been touted as a simple means for benchmarking the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of platinum-based electrocatalysts in proton exchange membrane fuel cells.
