  • Electrocatalyst powders, methods for producing powder and devices fabricated from same
    Publication number: 20040072683
    Abstract: Electrocatalyst powders and methods for producing electrocatalyst powders, such as carbon composite electrocatalyst powders. The powders have a well-controlled microstructure and morphology. The method includes forming the particles from an aerosol of precursors by heating the aerosol to a relatively low temperature, such as not greater than about 400° C.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 3, 2003
    Publication date: April 15, 2004
    Inventors: Toivo T. Kodas, Mark J. Hampden-Smith, Plamen Atanassov, Klaus Kunze, Paul Napolitano, Rimple Bhatia, David Dericotte, Paolina Atanassova
