本研究嘗試利用不同白金製程於奈米碳管上製備PtNi二元觸媒並應用於質子交換膜燃料電池中之陰極氧氣端。奈米碳管藉由化學氣相沉積法直接成長於碳布上以增加電極表面積，試片以循環伏安法進行親水處理後，先以脈衝式電鍍法電鍍鎳金屬，接著嘗試三種白金製程沉積白金觸媒於鎳金屬外層，三種製程分為四個實驗: (A)於酸性環境中電鍍(B)於鹼性環境中電鍍與(C)(D)化學沉積法；同時選擇電化學效能最好之白金製程參數製備純白金單元觸媒作為對照組。
測試方面，利用循環伏安法於0.1 M過氯酸溶液中進行循環伏安法與線性掃描伏安法電化學測試，並利用掃描式電子顯微鏡(SEM)、與電感耦合等離子體質譜(ICP-MS)進行觸媒形貌及金屬組成定量分析。經由SEM觀測發現利用化學沉積法製備之PtNi觸媒分布最均勻；在半電池電化學測試中，由循環伏安法(CV)及線性掃描伏安法(LSV)之極限電流密度結果顯示三種白金製程製備之鉑鎳觸媒的電化學總活性表面積相當，但利用化學沉積法製備之PtNi觸媒的起始電位高於利用電鍍法製備之二元觸媒，顯示其觸媒反應之活化能較低，因此在較高電位時氧還原反應開始產生。在全電池測試分析，將實驗D中自製PtNi觸媒應用於陰極端，開路電位為0.94 V且最大功率密度可達849.56 mW/cm2，本研究同時製備不含鎳金屬之鉑單元觸媒與噴塗相同白金承載量之商用觸媒做為對照組，由全電池測試結果發現單元觸媒MEA之開路電位約0.89V，最高功率密度為497.76 mW/cm2，而商用MEA之開路電位約0.89V，最高功率密度為557.61 mW/cm2，由極化曲線圖顯示直接沉積觸媒於奈米碳管之製程可以有效降低歐姆極化損失，鎳金屬的存在有助於提升白金觸媒之催化效果。

In this study, Pt-Ni binary alloy catalysts supported on carbon nanotubes (PtNi/CNTs) were developed to enhance efficiency of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) application. The CNTs were directly grown on carbon cloths by chemical vapor deposition method and then treated with hydrophilic process. The nickel nanoparticles were deposited on CNTs by pulse electro-planting. Then we attempted three different procedures with four parts, which were: (A) Electro-planting in acid solution, (B) Electro-planting in base solution and (C)(D) Chemical deposition method to deposite Pt particles on the surface of Ni metals. After confirming electrochemical efficiency of PtNi catalysts, the Pt/CNTs specimen was also prepared by the same depositon procedure for comparison.
Electrochemical characteristics of the PtNi/CNTs catalyst were investigated via cyclic
voltammetry analysis and rotating disk electrode test in 0.1 M perchloric acid. Structure
and elementary composition were measured by SEM and ICP-MS analysis. The onset potential of PtNi prepared by chemical deposition procedure (PtNi-C) was higher than others, which indicated that it had lowest activation loss for reduction reaction of oxygen. The single cell tests results shown that the open circuit voltage of PtNi MEA was about 1 V, and the power density of which could reach 849 mW/cm2, which was 70 % and 52 %higher than pure-Pt MEA and commercial MEA. The results indicated that PtNi catalyst had better catalytic activity than pure Pt, and the procedure of directly deposited catalysts on electrode could had better electronic conduction compared with commercial Pt/C MEA.
