  • Catalyst layer material and membrane electrode assembly including same
    Patent number: 10680252
    Abstract: A catalyst layer material and a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) having same are provided. The catalyst layer material used for a fuel cell has a catalyst support and a catalyst distributed on the catalyst support. The catalyst support has TiWMXNYOZ, wherein Ti is titanium; M is one metal element selected from a group consisting of group IB metals, group IIA metals, group IIB metals, group VB metals, group VIB metals, group VIIB metals and group VIIIB metals; N is an non-metal element selected from a group consisting of nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur; O is oxygen; 0<W?1; 0<X?0.5; 0<Y?0.2; 1.5?Z?2.0. By applying a non-carbon catalyst support doped with metal cations and anions to the membrane electrode assembly, stability and performance of the fuel cell can be effectively enhanced.
