✦ Synopsis

Thin-film electrocatalyst for unitized regenerative PEMFCs

Thin-film electrocatalyst layers with varying PTFE and Nafion contents for unitized regenerative PEM fuel cells (URFCs) made using the paste method were examined as URFC electrodes. Adding Ir catalyst to the oxygen electrode layer significantly improved performance. Catalyst loadings can be reduced to <1/3 using this method. T. Ioroi, K. Yasuda, Z. Siroma, N. Fujiwara and Y.
