title: Platinum supported on CeO2 effectively scavenges free radicals within the electrolyte of an operating fuel cell.
abstract: CeO(2), Pt/CeO(2) and MnO(2) additives were found to lower the rate of free radical induced polymer electrolyte membrane degradation in an operating fuel cell by over one order of magnitude.
