摘要
We evaluated an electrochemical catalyzation technique for producing gas-diffusion electrodes for proton-exchange-membrane fuel cells (PEMFC). The electrochemical technique deposits platinum catalyst particles in regions of the electrode that are in ionic contact with the proton-exchange membrane and in electronic contact with the carbon support. Since ionic and electronic contact are necessary components of catalyst utilization in gas-diffusion electrodes, the electrochemical catalyzation technique reduces the amount of platinum required for PEMFC. We present data for oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation with gas-diffusion electrodes containing 0.05 mg pt/cm2.
