The catalyst layers(CLs)electrode is the key component of the membrane electrode assembly(MEA)in proton exchange membrane fuel cells(PEMFCs).Conventional electrodes for PEMFCs are composed of carbon-supported,ionomer,and Pt nanoparticles,all immersed together and sprayed with a micron-level thickness of CLs.They have a performance trade-off where increasing the Pt loading leads to higher per-formance of abundant triple-phase boundary areas but increases the electrode cost.Major challenges must be overcome before realizing its wide commercialization.Literature research revealed that it is impossible to achieve performance and durability targets with only high-performance catalysts,so the controllable design of CLs architecture in MEAs for PEMFCs must now be the top priority to meet industry goals.From this perspective,a 3D ordered electrode circumvents this issue with a support-free architecture and ultrathin thickness while reducing noble metal Pt loadings.Herein,we discuss the motivation in-depth and summarize the necessary CLs structural features for designing ultralow Pt loading electrodes.Critical issues that remain in progress for 3D ordered CLs must be studied and characterized.Furthermore,approaches for 3D ordered CLs architecture electrode development,involving material design,structure optimization,preparation technology,and characterization techniques,are summarized and are expected to be next-generation CLs for PEMFCs.Finally,the review concludes with perspectives on possible research directions of CL architecture to address the significant challenges in the future.
