A novel approach to increase lifetime of Pt/C catalysts was demonstrated and shown that Nafion-stabilized Pt catalyst (denoted here as Nafion-Pt/C) synthesized by a colloid route gives rise to an enhanced durability as compared to a conventional Pt/C catalysts commonly used in PEM fuel cell. A high catalytic activity of the catalyst is also observed by both CV (cyclic voltammetry) and ORR (oxygen reduction reaction) measurements. This catalyst durability in comparison with conventional Pt/C is increased directly by electrochemically-accelerated durability test (ADT). The loss rate of electrochemical active area (ECA) for Nafion-Pt/C catalysts is only 0.004m 2 g −1 cycle −1 , compared to a value of 0.012m 2 g −1 cycle −1 for Pt/C. This indicates the catalyst is three times higher durability than Pt/C.
