Production and Characterization of Non-Platinum Catalytic Materials Formed by Ion Implantation. Annual Report November 1, 1986-October 31, 1987

摘要

Catalytic activity for oxygen ion production in a phosphoric acid fuel cell was observed with electrodes prepared with nitrogen ion-implanted carbon blacks. These electrodes were prepared without the addition of any metals, and especially without platinum. Comparisons to electrodes prepared with platinum and metal ion implants is presented. Methods of preparation and measurement are discussed.
