摘要:
A process for manufacturing a catalytic, electrically conductive electrode based on metal particles, comprises: a step of electroplating with a metal salt to form the said metal particles at the surface of an electrode, characterized in that the step of electroplating of the metal salt is performed in the presence of a blocking chemical species with a high power of absorption onto the surface of the said metal particles and with an oxidation potential higher than the reduction potential of the said metal salt such that the blocking chemical species conserves its blocking power during the reduction reaction of the said metal salt, and so as to reduce the size of the metal particles formed, constituting the said catalytic, electrically conductive electrode; and, a step of desorption of the blocking chemical species.

The invention relates to a method for depositing a metal M1 onto a carbon layer, as well as to a method for manufacturing an electrode for fuel cells and to a method for manufacturing a fuel cell. The method for depositing a metal M1 onto a porous carbon layer according to the invention includes a step of depositing said metal M1 by means of the electrochemical reduction of an electrolytic solution of a salt of the metal M1, and, prior to said step of depositing the metal M1 by means of electrochemical reduction, a step of depositing a metal M2 by means of chemical reduction using a reducing gas of a salt of the metal M2, the thermodynamic equilibrium potential between the ionic form of the salt of M2 and M2, Eeqionic form of the salt of M2/M2 being greater than the thermodynamic equilibrium potential between the ionic form of the salt of M1 and M1, Eeqionic form of the salt of M1/M1. The invention can be used, in particular, in the field of fuel cells.
