Abstract:
Alkaline membrane fuel cells designed with silver cathode catalysts include a catalyst layer comprising silver metal nano-particles and an anion-conducting ionomer. The silver nano-particles are mixed with a solution of the ionomer to form a catalyst ink that is applied to an alkaline membrane to form an ultra-thin cathode catalyst layer on the membrane surface.
Abstract:
A membrane/electrode assembly for solid polymer fuel cells is disclosed wherein a fluorinated sulfonic acid polymer having a monomer unit represented by the following general formula (3): (3) (wherein, Rf1 represents a divalent perfluorohydrocarbon group having 4-10 carbon atoms) is used for at least one of the membrane and the catalyst binder. The fluorinated sulfonic acid polymer has a melt flow rate (MFR) of not more than 100 g/10min at 270˚C when the -SO3H group in the polymer is changed into -SO2F.
Abstract:
Eine Membran-Elektroden-Einheit für Polymer-Elektrolyt-Brennstoffzellen. Die Membran-Elektroden-Einheit besteht aus einer Polymer-Elektrolyt-Membran (1) und beidseitig aufgebrachten porösen Reaktionsschichten (2) aus Katalysator (4) und einem Protonen leitenden Polymer, einem sogenannten Ionomer (5). Die Membran-Elektroden-Einheit ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, daß ein Anteil A1 des Katalysators der Reaktionsschichten mit dem Ionomer durchtränkt und im Ionomer eingebettet ist, während ein Anteil A2 des Katalysators vom Ionomer freigehalten ist, wobei die Anteile A1 und A2 im Gewichtsverhältnis von 1:1 bis 20:1 stehen.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an improved gas diffusion electrode for use in PEM-fuel cells, to a method for producing said improved gas diffusion electrode and to a method for waterproofing a gas diffusion electrode. The fuel-cell catalyst layer of the improved gas diffusion electrode contains essentially less of the catalyst inhibitor Teflon® since the Teflon® is not just added to the screen-printing paste as has been the case up until now but is applied afterwards with the same surface-specific effect by dipping the finished fuel-cell catalyst layer in a solution containing Teflon.
