  • Patent number: 8545932
    Abstract: A porous silicon zone is metallized by performing in situ reduction of metallic ions dissolved in an aqueous solution and fixing of the metallic particles obtained on said zone in a single step. This step consists in particular in bringing the solution containing the metallic ions into contact with the zone to be metallized, the surface whereof has previously been functionalized to enable in situ reduction of the metallic ions and fixing of the metallic particles. Functionalization of the porous silicon zone is achieved by grafting two particular and distinct types of chemical functions. The first function used is a chelating chemical function for the metallic ions and/or for the metal corresponding to the metallic ions, whereas the second function is a reducing chemical function for the metallic ions. Such a metallization can be used for producing an electrically conducting porous diffusion layer of a fuel cell.

The device comprises means for introducing a drop (7) of the second liquid into the layer of first liquid or gas and in contact with said first hydrophobic surface, and means for displacing the drop on said first hydrophobic surface along a determined path, the device having on the path of the drop, at least one wetting defect causing, upon passing of the drop over this defect, failure of the triple line of contact of the drop on the first hydrophobic surface and inclusion of first liquid (8) or gas into the drop. The invention also relates to the associated method.
