  • Patent number: 11158863
    Abstract: Disclosed are a catalyst composite for a fuel cell and a method of manufacturing the same. The catalyst composite includes a support containing carbon (C), a metal catalyst supported on the support, and an ionomer binder coated on the surface of the support and on the surface of the metal catalyst. The ionomer binder coated on the surface of the metal catalyst is formed so as to be thinner than the ionomer binder coated on the surface of the support.

  • Patent number: 11005116
    Abstract: Disclosed are a membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cells having improved durability and a manufacturing method thereof. Hydrogen peroxide, from which a hydroxyl radical is generated, may be removed using an antioxidant having the structure A1-aA?aBO3-? and including strontium or samarium, thereby improving the durability of an electrolyte membrane and an electrode.

  • Patent number: 10916781
    Abstract: Described herein is a composition for manufacturing an electrode of a membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cells and a method for manufacturing an electrode of a membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cells including the same. More particularly, described herein is a composition for manufacturing an electrode of a membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cells which can improve porosity in the electrode and thereby mass transport capability of reactive gases by mixing a second carbon having lower crystallinity than a first carbon to produce an electrode and applying a voltage to the electrode to remove only the second carbon, and a method for manufacturing an electrode of a membrane-electrode assembly for fuel cells including the same.

  • Patent number: 10862135
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an electrolyte membrane for fuel cells by transferring antioxidants to the electrolyte membrane. The method may include providing a first membrane including a perfluorinated sulfonic acid-based compound, providing a second membrane including an antioxidant such that the second membrane partially or entirely contacts a surface of the first membrane, transferring or moving the antioxidant of the second membrane to the first membrane, and removing the second membrane.
