  • Patent number: 8309276
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for preparing catalyst solution for a membrane-electrode assembly in a fuel cell, which comprises the steps of a) mixing a catalyst solution (Solution A) wherein catalyst particles are dispersed in water and an ion conductive resin solution (Solution B) wherein an ion conductive resin is dissolved in water, low boiling point organic solvent or a mixture thereof, to form a dispersion; b) mixing the dispersion obtained from step a) with functional additive dissolved in high boiling point solvent or a mixture of low boiling point solvent arid water (Solution C) to prepare catalyst ink dispersion; and c) aging the catalyst ink dispersion obtained from step b).

  • Patent number: 8168348
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of electrochemical catalysts of the polymer electrolytes-based fuel cells. With the process of the present invention, high catalyst activity while uniformly supporting a large amount of metal particles on a surface of a support can be achieved. Also, the present invention provides a process for the preparation of electrochemical catalysts of the polymer electrolytes-based fuel cells capable of using a small amount of toxic solvent without an additional high-temperature hydrogen annealing.

  • Publication number: 20090202885
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a porous electrode used in a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell, and more particularly to a method of preparing a membrane-electrode assembly by forming a self-stand electrode layer by coating catalyst ink on a non-conductive substrate having a macropore and then joining it to a polymer electrolyte membrane. The porous self-stand electrode according to the present invention allows moisture and gas to be smoothly discharged and inflowed in a high current density operation region to improve the performance of a fuel cell, and can be freely cutted to simplify the preparation process of the membrane-electrode assembly.
