Abstract: A fuel cell structure comprises a diffusion layer and/or a catalyst layer which are made of a carbonaceous porous material having a nano-size structure, such as carbon nanowall (CNW). A method of manufacturing the structure is also disclosed. The structure and method simplify the process of manufacturing a fuel cell electrode comprised of an electrode catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer. The electrical conductivity of the catalyst layer is increased and the diffusion efficiency of the diffusion layer is improved, whereby the electricity generation efficiency of the fuel cell can be improved.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of producing an electrode for an electric double layer capacitor, which yields the electrode with an electrode layer having a higher density by calendering treatment. A method of producing an electrode for a capacitor, which comprises at least a current collector and an electrode layer on the current collector, the method comprising the steps of: applying an electrode layer coating material which comprises at least a carbon material, a binder and a solvent, onto the current collector to form an electrode coating layer; drying the electrode coating layer on the current collector to set the amount of the solvent remaining in the electrode coating layer within a range of 5 to 35% by weight of the layer; and subjecting the electrode coating layer after the drying to calendering treatment to yield an electrode layer.
