Molecular insights into ionic-liquid-regulated interfacial structure and transport in Pt/mesoporous-carbon for PEMFC cathodes
Ionic-liquid filling provides a potential strategy for regulating local O2 and vehicular H3O+ transport in Pt-containing mesopores while modifying the molecular environment near Pt surfaces. All-atom molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to compare seven imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) in nanoscale Pt...
