摘要:
A gas diffusion electrode for a PEM fuel cell includes a metallic catalyst, and an electrocatalyst layer having a polymer A for hydrophobicizing the electrocatalyst layer and a uniform thickness of between 3 to 40 μm, especially 25 μm. The polymer A content is less than 10% by weight based on the metallic catalyst content. Methods of producing and of hydrophobicizing the electrode include screen printing a paste onto a carrier and removing the screen-printing medium by heating. The paste includes at least one metallic catalyst with a content of polymer A up to at most 10% by weight, and a screen-printing medium. The electrocatalyst layer of the electrode has a significantly lower content of the catalyst inhibitor TEFLON® because it is not added only to the screen-printing paste but is subsequently applied, with the same surface-specific effect, by dipping the finished electrocatalyst layer in a solution containing TEFLON®.

摘要:
A screen-printing paste as a starting material for fabricating a gas diffusion electrode through screen-printing includes at least one polymer, at least one metallic catalyst, and a high-boiling solvent. The polymer is a binder including poly(butyl acrylate)-polymethacrylate copolymer, a poly(vinyl alcohol), and a poly(ethylene oxide). The polymer can be two polymers, a first being used for hydrophobicization and present in an amount of between 0 to 10% by weight based on a content of the metallic-catalyst, and a second being a binder. A screen-printing method of fabricating the electrode for a fuel cell includes forming a screen-printing layer having a thickness between 3 and 40 &mgr;m by applying the screen-printing paste to a base. The solvent and the polymer serve as a screen-printing medium. The screen-printing layer is baked to allow only residues of the solvent and the polymer to remain, which do not interfere with using the electrode in a fuel cell. The method uses a polybutylacrylate-polymethacrylate copolymer as a binder in the screen-printing paste.
摘要:
Energy storage modules generally include a housing with component parts arranged therein. The component parts are in this case either capacitors, for example double-layer capacitors and/or electrolyte capacitors. According to the invention, a filler is provided in the housing and binds electrolyte liquid occurring in the even of damage or else electrolyte gases. Beds of material with a large specific surface area, such as zeolites or else active carbons, are suitable as fillers. The surfaces are also possibly catalytically coated.
