Parallel Electrooxidation of Carbon Material in Membrane-Electrode Assembly of Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Generator without Liquid Electrolyte

摘要

An increased interest to the membrane-electrode assemblies for fuel cells and hydrogen generators without liquid electrolyte, including the H2/O2 fuel cell (FC) [1] and the hydrogen generator with methanol oxidation (HGMO) [2] is observed during the last time. These membrane-electrode assemblies contain carbon material (fiber sheet or paper from pure carbon) to enable the electrical contact with the catalyst (metals of platinum group) and diffusion of gases.
