The influence of glass corrosion on the electrocatalytic activity of fuel cell catalysts was studied. A Teflon electrochem. cell was designed for measurements in alk. electrolyte. The cell performance was tested and compared to a std. electrochem. glass cell by measuring the O redn. reaction and the H oxidn. reaction on polycryst. Pt in 0.1M KOH. In the Teflon cell the shape of the cyclic voltammogram as well as the activity for the reactions are reproducible and do not alter over a long period of time. By comparison, using the std. electrochem. cell made out of Duran glass, the expts. on polycryst. Pt electrodes in alk. electrolyte are insufficiently reproducible. The cyclic voltammograms alter over time, and the activities for H oxidn. as well as O redn. depend on the applied potential scan limits. This is due to the contamination of the electrolyte because of the etching of glass by KOH - anal. of the alk. electrolyte after usage in the resp. cell types by ICP-OES confirmed this suggestion.
