  • Publication number: 20090186252
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a preparing process an organic-inorganic composite polymer membrane for fuel cell by using sol-gel process. At this time, it is characterized in that when a sulfonated hydrocarbons polymer having ion conductivity is cast with film shape, sol-gel process which enables to distribute an inorganic matter having an excellent cation exchange and moisture holding capacity homogeneously is used. With homogeneous introduction of an inorganic matter into a polymer matrix by sol-gel process according to the present invention, it is possible to improve a phenomenon that an inorganic matter is partially concentrated at some position, thereby enabling to obtain an ion conducting organic-inorganic composite polymer membrane having an excellent ion conductivity.

  • Patent number: 7432221
    Abstract: Disclosed is an electrocatalyst for fuel cells, in which a porous carbon material including pores having a diameter smaller than a kinetic diameter of carbon monoxide is used as a support body and contact probability between an activated metal and carbon monoxide is decreased, thereby preventing fuel cell performance from being degraded by carbon monoxide. The electrocatalyst is obtained by adsorbing 10-80 parts by weight of an activated metal to 20-90 parts by weight of a porous support body, characterized in that the porous support body has a total surface area of 200-2,500 m2/g including an outer surface thereof and an inner surface of pores thereof, and has a plurality of pores penetrating into an interior of the support body with an average diameter of 2-15 nm and a total volume of 0.4-2.0 m3/g, and the activated metal is alloyed with 20-95 at % of platinum and 5-80 at % of one metal selected from among Ru, Sn, Os, Rh, Ir, Pd, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Fe and Mn.
