  • Patent number: 11967746
    Abstract: Disclosed are an electrolyte membrane of a membrane-electrode assembly including an electronic insulation layer, which greatly improves the durability of the electrolyte membrane, and a method of preparing the same. The electrolyte membrane includes an ion exchange layer and an electronic insulation layer provided on the ion exchange layer, and the electronic insulation layer includes one or more catalyst complexes, and a second ionomer Particularly, each of the one or more catalyst complex includes a catalyst particle and a first ionomer coated on the entirety or a portion of the surface of the catalyst particle, and the one or more catalyst complexes are dispersed the second ionomer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 25, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 23, 2024
    Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors Corporation

  • Patent number: 11063285
    Abstract: Disclosed are an apparatus for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane and a method for manufacturing an electrolyte membrane using the same, which may prevent discoloration of the electrolyte membrane through a controlled drying process of the electrolyte membrane. The electrolyte membrane manufactured by the method of the present invention may not be discolored and performance and durability of fuel cells using the electrolyte membrane may be improved due to uniform drying of the electrolyte membrane during the manufacturing. For example, competitively simultaneous evaporation of solvents in an ionomer composition in the drying process may be prevented.
