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.

Abstract: Provided is a membrane electrode assembly for a proton exchange membrane water electrolyzer, including: an oxygen electrode including an iridium oxide (IrO2) layer which is an electrodeposited oxygen electrode catalyst layer on a titanium (Ti) layer which is a diffusion layer; a hydrogen electrode in which a hydrogen electrode catalyst layer is formed on a diffusion layer; and an electrolyte membrane placed between the oxygen electrode catalyst layer and the hydrogen electrode catalyst layer, in which a portion of the pores of the Ti diffusion layer are filled with an electrolyte of the electrolyte membrane.
