Abstract: Disclosed is an antioxidant for a polymer electrolyte membrane of a fuel cell including cerium hydrogen phosphate (CeHPO4). The presence of cerium hydrogen phosphate in the antioxidant enhances the dissolution stability of cerium and improves the ability to capture water, leading to an increase in proton conductivity. In addition, the cerium hydrogen phosphate has a crystal structure composed of smaller cerium particles. This crystal structure greatly improves the ability of the antioxidant to prevent oxidation of the electrolyte membrane. Also disclosed are an electrolyte membrane including the antioxidant, a fuel cell including the electrolyte membrane, a method for preparing the antioxidant, a method for producing the electrolyte membrane, and a method for fabricating the fuel cell.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for preparing a metal single-atom catalyst for a fuel cell including the steps of depositing metal single atoms to a nitrogen precursor powder, mixing the metal single atom-deposited nitrogen precursor powder with a carbonaceous support, and carrying out heat treatment. The step of depositing metal single atoms is carried out by sputtering, thermal evaporation, E-beam evaporation or atomic layer deposition. The method uses a relatively lower amount of chemical substances as compared to conventional methods, is eco-friendly, and can produce a single-atom catalyst at low cost. In addition, unlike conventional methods which are limited to certain metallic materials, the present method can be applied regardless of the type of metal.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an IrO2 electrodeposited porous titanium composite layer of a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis apparatus serving as both a diffusion layer and an oxygen electrode, the apparatus including: a porous titanium (Ti) layer; and an electrodeposited iridium oxide (IrO2) layer on the porous Ti layer. The IrO2 layer may be uniformly deposited on a porous Ti layer through an electrolysis process, and the electrodeposited IrO2 layer may play multiple roles as not only a catalyst layer toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the surface of the Ti layer, but also a corrosion-protection layer which prevents an inner Ti layer from corrosion.
