MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR PLATINUM NANO-CATALYST SUPPORTED ON CARBON NANOTUBES DIRECTLY GROWN ON CELLULOSE ELECTRODES USED FOR FUEL CELL, CELLULOSE ELECTRODES OF THE SAME, AND USE OF CELLULOSE FIBER AS FOR FUEL CELL ELECTRODES

摘要

A cellulose electrode is provided to improve the performance of electrode while reducing the manufacturing cost of the fuel cell electrode, by inexpensive porous cellulose fiber having micropores as an electrode material of the fuel cell. A method for manufacturing platinum nano-catalyst-supported cellulose electrodes comprises a step for forming a plate-like cellulose plate after separating the cellulose fiber; a step for growing the carbon nanotube on the manufactured cellulose plate; and a step for supporting a platinum nano-catalyst on the cellulose plate grown with the carbon nanotube. The cellulose fiber is selected from the group consisting of henequen, kenaf, aaca, bamboo, hemp, linum usitatissimum, pineapple, ramie, and sisal hemp.
