DEVELOPMENT OF PEM FUEL CELL ELECTRODES USING PULSE ELECTRODEPOSITION

摘要

In one embodiment of the present disclosure a method for forming a PEM fuel cell electrode is provided. The method includes applying a hydrophilic wetting agent on an electrode surface. A catalyst layer is deposited on the wetted electrode surface by pulse electrodeposition, at least a portion of the catalyst penetrating the electrode surface. The electrode surface is heat treated.
