  • Composite nanostructure solid acid fuel cell electrodes via electrospray deposition
    Patent number: 8425986
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of preparing a nanostructure material on a substrate. The method includes spraying an aqueous solution from a capillary to the substrate, wherein the aqueous solution includes an electrolyte and an alcohol. The method also includes applying an electrical bias between the capillary and the substrate, such that the electrolyte deposits on the substrate forming the nanostructure material. The present invention also provides the nanostructure material prepared by this method.
    Type: Grant
