  • Patent number: 8318375
    Abstract: A cathode for an electrochemical reactor including a diffusion layer and a catalyst layer. The cathode has bimetallic or multimetallic nanoparticles, dispersed in direct contact with the diffusion layer, at least one of the metals being chromium (Cr) wholly or partly in oxidized form. The cathode is fabricated by depositing the bimetallic or multimetallic nanoparticles on the diffusion layer by DLI-MOCVD in the presence of O2.

  • Publication number: 20120021268
    Abstract: A bipolar battery including unit cells fitted with an element including a first electronic conductive support, a second electronic conductive support, an electronic conductive connection connecting the first and the second support, with each support including a first and a second face separate from the first and second faces of the other support, a positive electrode material deposited on one of the faces of the first conductor, and a negative electrode material deposited on one of the faces of the other support. The positive electrode material is supported by the first support, and is positioned facing a negative electrode material, the negative electrode material is supported by the second support, and is positioned opposite a positive electrode material, where the facing electrode materials are separated by an insulator containing an electrolyte, thus forming two juxtaposed unit cells.
