Polymer electrolyte fuel cell

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A solid polymer type fuel cell, which has a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, catalyst , layers arranged on both sides of the solid polymer electrolyte membrane gas , diffusion , layers disposed outside of the catalyst layers and separators arranged on the , outside of the gas diffusion layer. The cathode side catalyst layer comprises a carbon carrier , comprising a carbon black, the carbon carrier has a mean lattice plane spacing d002 of , 002 planes calculated from an X-ray diffraction within a range of 0.343 nm to 0.358 nm, a crystallite size Lc within a range of 3 nm to 10 nm and a specific surface , area within a range of 200 m2/g to 300 m2/g. The carbon black has a mean …
