This thesis investigates the degradation mechanism of high surfacearea carbon (HSAC) supports used in proton-exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) electrodes. The structural and the chemical properties of different HSAC supports were established. The effectof the Nafion® ionomer used as a proton conductor, the gas atmosphere, the upper potential limit and the intermediate electrochemical characterizations used to monitor the changes ofthe electrochemical surface area during accelerated stress tests(ASTs) were investigated. The long-term physical and chemical changes of Pt/HSAC electrocatalysts were investigated insimulated PEMFC operating conditions. Using Raman spectroscopy, we showed that the COR is strongly structure sensitive and proceeds...
