Abstract: Fuel cells (9) include unitized electrode assemblies (12) having a non- perfluorinated hydrocarbon ionomer exchange membrane (26) with anode and cathode catalysts (27, 28) disposed on opposite sides thereof. Adjacent the catalysts, respective optional sublayers (29, 30) may be supported by corresponding gas diffusion layers (31, 32), with adjacent porous, hydrophilic, water transferring reactant gas flow field plates (13, 14) having respective fuel (17) and oxidant (23) reactant gas flow field channels. Water channels (18, 19, 20) hydrate the membrane (26), clear the product water from the cathode (28, 30, 32), flush peroxide radicals, and may also cool the fuel cells. Improved performance (124) (higher voltage at higher current densities) is achieved along with elimination of a propensity for degradation from peroxide decomposition products resulting from oxygen solubility of perfluorinated membranes. Platinum/ruthenium alloy anode catalysts improve performance without degradation which occurs with perfluorinated membranes.

Abstract: A supported catalyst is prepared by a process that includes establishing shell-removal conditions for a supported catalyst intermediate that includes capped nanoparticles of a catalyst material dispersed on a carbon support. The capped nanoparticles each include a platinum alloy core capped in an organic shell. The shell-removal conditions include an elevated temperature and an inert gas atmosphere that is substantially free of oxygen. The organic shell is removed from the platinum alloy core under the shell-removal conditions to limit thermal decomposition of the carbon support and thereby limit agglomeration of the catalyst material such that the supported catalyst includes an electrochemical surface area of at least 30 m 2 /g Pt .

Abstract: An ion exchange membrane (52) for a fuel cell comprises a polymer having an acid functional group normally including protons, and having alkali metal ions partially ion-exchanged with the protons of the acid functional group of the membrane. The partial ion exchange of alkali metal ions into the membrane relates either to patterning of the exchanged ion make-up of the membrane, with some being ion exchanged and some not, or to the extent or concentration of the ion exchange in any particular location, or to both.
