Abstract

Transition-metal complexes are candidates for replacing platinum and its combinations with other metals as catalysts for the hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) in proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). The results of catalytic tests of bis(diphosphine) coordination complexes of nickel [Ni(PPh2NPh2)2]·2BF4 and [Ni(PPh2NBn2)2]·2BF4 in liquid-phase oxidation of hydrogen and as components of catalysts for the HOR in PEMFC are analyzed. It was found that the latter complex is a much more efficient catalyst for the HOR in PEMFC than the former. ESR studies demonstrated an increase in the difference between the hyperfine coupling constants on phosphorus nuclei on going from [Ni(PPh2NPh2)2] · 2BF4 to [Ni(PPh2NBn2)2]·2BF4. Significant morphological differences between the complexes on the atomically smooth surface of pyrolytic graphite were revealed by atomic force microscopy.
