Abstract
Due to their environmental sustainability and high efficiency, proton‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are expected to be an essential type of energy source for electric vehicles, energy generation, and the space industry in the coming decades. Here, the recent developments regarding shape‐controlled nanostructure catalysts are reviewed, with a focus on the stability of high‐performance Pt‐based catalysts and related mechanisms. The catalysts, which possess great activity, are still far from meeting the requirements of their applications, due to stability issues, especially in membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). Thus, solutions toward the comprehensive performance of Pt‐based catalysts are discussed here. The research trends and related theories that can promote the application of Pt‐based catalysts are also provided.Keywords
