    摘要: A method of coating carbon based electrodes and thick electrodes without mud-cracking is described. The electrode ink is deposited on a decal substrate, and transferred to a hot press before the electrode ink is completely dried. The partially dried electrode ink is hot pressed to the membrane to form a membrane electrode assembly. A membrane electrode assembly including a polymer membrane; and a pair of crack-free electrode layers on opposite sides of the polymer membrane, each of the pair of electrode layers having a thickness of at least about 50 μm is also described.

    摘要: Core-shell particles encapsulated by a thin film of a catalytically active metal are described. The particles are preferably nanoparticles comprising a non-noble core with a noble metal shell which preferably do not include Pt. The non-noble metal-noble metal core-shell nanoparticles are encapsulated by a catalytically active metal which is preferably Pt. The core-shell nanoparticles are preferably formed by prolonged elevated-temperature annealing of nanoparticle alloys in an inert environment. This causes the noble metal component to surface segregate and form an atomically thin shell. The Pt overlayer is formed by a process involving the underpotential deposition of a monolayer of a non-noble metal followed by immersion in a solution comprising a Pt salt. A thin Pt layer forms via the galvanic displacement of non-noble surface atoms by more noble Pt atoms in the salt. The overall process is a robust and cost-efficient method for forming Pt-coated non-noble metal-noble metal core-shell nanoparticles.

    摘要: A method for forming an electrocatalyst for fuel cell applications comprises electrolessly depositing a first plurality of nickel particles onto carbon-support particles. The nickel particles are formed from a nickel ion-containing aqueous solution. At least a portion of the nickel particles are replaced with platinum via a galvanic displacement reaction to form a second plurality of nickel particles coated with a platinum layer. During this displacement reaction step, the nickel particles are heated to a temperature sufficient to form the platinum layer. Finally, the second plurality of nickel particles is optionally incorporated into a cathode layer of a fuel cell.
