Polymer-metal complexed membranes were prepared by solvent evaporation method using ethylcellulose, platinum(II)acetylacetonate, and rhodium(III)acetylacetonate. The various composition of metal salt(0.3-4.0 wt%) were employed to obtain the optimum performance of final membrane. EC-metal complexed membranes were characterized by FTIR and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) to observe the morphology and the performance of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and methane gases was tested. It was shown that the metal salts enhanced the permeability of all gases without decrease of selectivity. However, it was found that Pt had more effects on the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen gases while Rh had more effects on the permeability of carbon dioxide and methane gases. EC-Pt complexed membrane(Pt 1.0 wt%) even showed the enhanced selectivity of oxygen/nitrogen(37%) due to the affinity characteristic of Pt to oxygen.

This research aims to enhance the efficiency of Pt/C catalysts due to the limited availability and high cost of platinum in contemporary fuel cell catalysts. Nano-sized platinum particles were distributed onto a carbon-based support via the polyol process, utilizing the metal precursor H₂PtCl₆·6H₂O. Key parameters such as pH, temperature, and RPM were carefully regulated. The findings revealed variations in the particle size, distribution, and dispersion of nano-sized Pt particles, influenced by temperature and pH. Following sodium hydroxide treatment, heat treatment procedures were systematically executed at diverse temperatures, specifically 120, 140, and 160 ℃. Notably, the thermal treatment at 140 ℃ facilitated the production of Pt/C catalysts characterized by the smallest platinum particle size, measuring at 1.49 nm. Comparative evaluations between the commercially available Pt/C catalysts and those synthesized in this study were meticulously conducted through cyclic voltammetry, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and field-emission scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (FE-SEM EDS) methodologies. The catalyst synthesized at 160 ℃ demonstrated superior electrochemical performance; however, it is imperative to underscore the necessity for further optimization studies to refine its efficacy.

Platinum thin film which hardly form volatile compounds with any reactive gas at normal process temperature was etched in inductive coupled BCl$_{3}$/Cl$_{2}$ plasma. The etch rate of platinum thin film increased with increasing Cl$_{2}$/(Cl$_{2}$ + BCl$_{3}$) ratio. That reasoned increasing of ion current density.

Platinum thin films were deposited on Si-wafer by DC rnagnetron sputtering for RTD (resistance thermometer devices). We investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of these films under various conditions, the input power, working vacuum, temperature of substrate and also after annealing these films. The deposition rate was increased with increasing the input power but decreased with increasing Ar gas pressure. The resistivity and sheet resistivity were decreased with increasing the temperature of substrate and the annealing time at 1000.deg. C. At substrate temperature of >$300^{\circ}C$, input power of 7 w/cm$^{2}$, working vacuum of 5 mtorr and annealing conditions of 1000.deg. C and 240 min, we obtained 10.65.mu..ohm..cm, resistivity of Pt thin films and 3800-3900 ppm/.deg. C, TCR(temperature coefficient of resistance). These values are close to the bulk value. These results indicate that the Pt thin films deposited by DC magnetron sputtering have potentiality for the development of Pt RTD temperature sensor.

To resolve global environmental problems, many automobile companies are making a great deal of effort to develop so-called green-cars. One of the solutions is an electric vehicle equipped with the PEMFC (Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell) stack. However, the cost of the stack, at the moment, is still too high. This obstacle must be resolved for commercialized fuel cell cars. One of the reasons for high cost is a relatively large amount of Pt (platinum) in the membrane. In this paper, a method for reducing the Pt-loading is introduced. Furthermore, the durability of the stack will be important for a company to stay competitive in world markets (in the future). For this, the diagnosis of the stack must be conducted on-line. Some diagnosis methods as key technology are also introduced in this paper.

New diamineplatinum(Ⅱ) complexes of cyclohexylidenemalonate (chm) ligand, A2Pt(OOC)2C=C(CH2)4CH2 (1, A2=ethylenediamine (en); 2, A2=propylenediamine (pn); 3, A=NH3; 4, A=isopropylamine (ipa)) have been prepared. Their oxidation with H2O2 has led to the corresponding dihydroxoplatinum(Ⅳ) complexes: cis, cis, trans-A2Pt((OOC)2C=C(CH2)4CH2)(OH)2 (5, A2=en; 6, A2=pn; 7, A=NH3; 8, A=ipa). The title complexes have been characterized by means of various spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography. 5 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/a (Z=4) with a=12.098(7) Å, b=9.552(2) Å, c=16.258(4) Å, β=98.03(5)° and V=1860(1) Å3. The structure was refined to R=0.074. The local geometry around platinum atom is approximately octahedral with each hydroxide group in trans position. These platinum complexes are stable in aqueous solution. Pt(Ⅳ) complexes are readily reduced to the corresponding Pt(Ⅱ) complexes by ascorbic acid.

The synthesis and characterization of the platinum heterocyclic carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [NC5H4CRNNC(S)NHR'PtCl] (R=H, R'=CH3(1); R=CH3, R'=CH3(2); R=CH3, R=H(3)) and diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde thiosemicarbazone complexes [Ph2PC6H4CHNNC(S)NHRPtCl] (R=CH3(5); R=iC3H7(6); R=Ph(7)) are described. Compounds 1-3 were prepared by reaction of Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 with 2-acetylpyridine-4-alkylthiosemicarbazone in the presence of NEt3. Compounds 5-7 were prepared using Pt(SEt2)2Cl2 in toluene with diphenylphosphinophenyl carboxaldehyde alkylthiosemicarbazone. The compounds have been characterized by microanalysis, NMR (1H, 13C, 31P) spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis reveals that compound 5 is a mononuclear platinum compound with P,N,S-coordination mode.

This study focuses on a determination of amount of Pt in the Pt/C for catalysts of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). PEMFC offer low weight and high power density and being considered fur automotive and stationary power applications. The PEMFC behavior is quite complex is influenced by several factors, including catalysts and structure of electrode and membrane type. Catalyst of electrode is important factor for PEMFC. One of the obstacles preventing polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells from commercialization is the high cost of noble metals to be used as catalyst, such as platinum. To effectively use these metals, they have to be will dispersed to small particles on conductive carbon supports. The optimal amount of Pt in Pt/C was investigated by using polarization curves in single cell with $H_2/O_2$ operation.
