    摘要: The invention relates to a membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) for electrochemical devices, in particular for membrane fuel cells. The membrane-electrode assembly has a semi-coextensive design and comprises an ion-conducting membrane, two catalyst layers and gas diffusion layers of differing sizes on the front side and rear side. The first gas diffusion layer has smaller planar dimensions than the ion-conducting membrane, while the second gas diffusion layer has essentially the same planar dimensions as the ion-conducting membrane. As a result, the ion-conducting membrane has a surface which is not supported by a gas diffusion layer on the front side.The membrane-electrode assembly has, owing to the particular construction, a stable structure which can be handled readily and displays advantages in the sealing of the reactive gases from one another and also in terms of the electrical properties. In particular, the hydrogen penetration current is significantly reduced.New processes for producing the MEA of the invention are described, in particular the method of heat pulse welding.The membrane-electrode assembly is used in PEM fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells, electrolysers and other electrochemical devices.

    摘要: The invention relates to the field of electrochemical cells and fuel cells, more specifically to polymer-electrolyte-membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). A multi-layer membrane-electrode-assembly (ML-MEA) comprising two electrically conductive bipolar plates and a membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) bonded together by means of an electrically insulating adhesive material is disclosed. The adhesive material, preferably a polyurethane-based system, is in direct contact with the protective film layers attached to front side and the back side of the MEA, thus contamination of the ionomer membrane and/or the electrode layers with adhesive components is avoided. Multi-layer MEAs with improved long term stability and life time are obtained. The products are used for the manufacture of low temperature PEMFC and DMFC stacks.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for manufacture of a catalyst-coated polymer electrolyte membrane (CCM) for electrochemical devices. The process is characterized in that a polymer electrolyte membrane is used which is supported on its backside to a first supporting foil. After coating of the front side, a second supporting foil is applied to the front side, the first supporting foil is removed and subsequently the second catalyst layer is applied to the back side. In this process, the membrane is in contact with at least one supporting foil during all processing steps. Smooth, wrinkle-free catalyst-coated membranes are obtained in a continuous process with high production speed. The 3-layer catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs) are used in electrochemical devices, such as PEM fuel cells, direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC), sensors or electrolyzers.
