  • Patent number: 9236616
    Abstract: An electrode structure of a fuel cell for power generation comprises an anodic structure, a cathodic structure, and an ionic exchange membrane disposed between the anodic and cathodic structures. The anodic and cathodic structures respectively are formed by multi-layer structures, to reduce the fuel crossover from the anodic structure to the cathodic structure, to reduce the catalysts applied amount, and to increase an output electrical energy of the fuel cell. The multi-layer structure of the anodic structure comprises a thin platinum alloy black layer, a Pt alloy layer disposed on the carbon material, and a substrate.

  • Publication number: 20070048592
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition for enhancing the utilization of catalysts in fuel cell, comprising catalysts, proton-exchanged ionic polymers, and coupling agents. The coupling agents are bonded to the catalysts or catalyst carriers by a B1 functional group and bonded to the proton-exchanged ionic polymers by a B2 functional group. The present invention also relates to a method for enhancing the utilization of catalysts in fuel cell, comprising the steps of (a) utrasonicating catalysts; (b) adding coupling agents to bond to the catalysts; (c) adding a perfluoro polymer to form a catalyst-coupling agent-perfluoro polymer complex whereby developing stable dispersion; wherein the coupling agents in step (b) are bonded to the catalysts by a B1 functional group and bonded to a perfluoro polymer by a B2 functional group.
