Nitrogen doped Carbon nanotubes supported Palladium electrocatalysts were synthesized and used as a hydrogen electrode in PEM water electrolyser. The Morphology and electrochemical performances of synthesized Pd/NCNTs was determined by FESEM, XRD, and cyclic voltammetry method. The Membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) were fabricated using Pd/NCNTs and tested in PEM single cell at various experimental conditions. The results shows that the synthesized Pd/NCNTs can be promising alternative for Pt based electrocatalysts for Hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). (C) 2016 Hydrogen Energy Publications LLC.
