  • CORROSION-RESISTANT CATALYST
    Publication number: 20170117556
    Abstract: A method for forming a corrosion-resistant catalyst for fuel cell catalyst layers is provided. The method includes a step of depositing a conformal Pt or platinum alloy thin layer on NbO2 substrate particles to form Pt-coated NbO2. The Pt-coated NbO2 particles are then incorporated into a fuel cell catalyst layer.

  • CONFORMAL THIN FILM OF PRECIOUS METAL ON A SUPPORT
    Publication number: 20150171433
    Abstract: A coated substrate for forming fuel cell catalyst layers includes a plurality of substrate particles, an adhesion layer disposed over the substrate particles, and a precious metal layer disposed over the adhesion layer. The adhesion layer includes a tungsten metal layer. Characteristically, the coated substrate is used in fuel cell applications such as providing the catalyst particles used in the cathode and/or anode catalyst layers.
