Popis: A cathodic catalyst, which can replace monoplatinum commercial catalyst, is developed and investigated. New catalyst combines a smaller consumption of platinum with a higher mass activity and corrosion resistance. A method of fabrication of ternary (PtCoCr/C) catalyst is improved in order to obtain the catalytic system containing 45–50 wt % platinum. This is necessary to form thinner active layers of cathodes of membrane-electrode assemblies of hydrogen-air fuel cells. The activity of the synthesized PtCoCr/C catalyst is by 1.2–1.5 times higher than that of the monoplatinum catalyst containing 60–70 wt % Pt. According to the accelerated-test data, the corrosion resistance of PtCoCr/C catalyst is also higher than that of Pt/C system.
