Nano-patterned metal electrode for solid oxide fuel cell
摘要:
The current invention provides a method of fabricating nano-pore structured dense Pt electrodes using particle masking and LB deposition methods. The pore size and TPB density are easily tunable by changing initial size of the masking silica particles and the spacing between them. Compared to the solid oxide fuel cell MEAs with porous Pt electrode deposited by conventional DC sputtering method, fuel cell MEAs with the nano structured electrodes fabricated according to the current invention showed thermal and microstructural stability and superior I-V performance at 400˜450° C. Also, EIS spectra showed significant improvement in the oxygen reduction kinetics by increasing the density of charge transfer sites at the TPB. A nearly linear scaling relationship between TPB density and fuel cell performance was also demonstrated.
