    摘要: The invention relates to a process for recycling fuel cell components containing fluorine-containing and precious metal-containing constituents: in this process, the fluorine-containing constituents are separated off from the precious metal-containing constituents by treatment with a medium present in the supercritical state. Preference is given to using water as supercritical medium. After the fluorine-containing constituents have been separated off, the precious metal-containing residues can be recovered in a recycling process without harmful fluorine or hydrogen fluoride emissions. The fluorine-containing constituents can likewise be recovered. The process is used in the recovery of precious metals and/or fluorine-containing constituents from membrane fuel cells, electrolysis cells, batteries, sensors and other electrochemical devices.

    摘要: The invention relates to membrane electrode units (MEUs) for membrane fuel cells. The products contain different gas diffusion layers on the anode side and on the cathode side. The amount of the water repellant agent (WRA) in the anode gas diffusion layer is identical or higher than the amount of water repellant agent in the cathode gas diffusion layer and is in the range of 20 to 35% by weight (based on total weight of the gas diffusion layer). At the same time, the total pore volume V of the cathode gas diffusion layer is higher than the total pore volume of the anode gas diffusion layer (Vcathode>VAnode). The membrane electrode units as well as the PEM stacks made therewith show improved performance when operated with unhumidified operating gases (such as dry hydrogen, reformate gas, oxygen or air).

    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: A gas diffusion structure for polymer electrolyte fuel cells having a sheet-like carbon substrate made hydrophobic and having two main opposing surfaces and a contact layer on one of these surfaces. The contact layer is formed of an intimate mixture of at least one hydrophobic polymer, which can be polyethylene, polypropylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, and finely divided carbon particles, wherein the weight percentage of the carbon particles relative to the total weight of the contact layer amounts to 40 to 90 wt. %. The gas diffusion structure is a carbon substrate made hydrophobic by at least one hydrophobic polymer and the hydrophobic polymers are restricted to two layers extending from both opposing surfaces into the carbon substrate down to a depth of from 5 to 40 &mgr;m and the hydrophobic polymers fill of from 20 to 60% of the pore volume within those layers.
