Abstract:
PURPOSE: A manufacturing method of an electrode is provided to exclude a phosphoric acid doping process in manufacturing electrodes, to reduce electrode-drying time, and to reduce cost or organic solvent for manufacturing electrode catalyst slurry. CONSTITUTION: An electrode for fuel cells comprises an electrode support and a catalyst layer formed on the electrode support. The catalyst layer comprises a catalyst material and an aqueous binder. The aqueous binder includes at least one selected from cellulose derivatives and composites of an organic polymer material and inorganic oxide. A manufacturing method of an electrode comprises a step of coating or printing catalyst slurry on an electrode support. The catalyst slurry comprises a catalyst material and an aqueous binder.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: An end plate of a fuel cell is provided to improve mechanical properties such as bending strength and rigidity and thermal properties such as thermal conductivity, and to improve performance and stability of the fuel cell. CONSTITUTION: An end plate of a fuel cell which is installed at the outside of a fuel cell stack and supports the fuel cell stack by predetermined pressure comprises: glass fiber; a synthetic resin which is immersed in the glass fiber by adding plate-like nano clay particles. A method for preparing the end plate comprises the steps of: dispersing nanoclay particles to a synthetic resin; applying the synthetic resin on which the nanoclay particles are dispersed to the glass fiber; and laminating the glass fiber applied with the synthetic resin, then heating and pressurizing it.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A composite is provided to have ion conductivity and moisturizing ability, thereby providing excellent proton conductivity with a composite film. CONSTITUTION: A composite is represented by chemical formula 1: M(O_3P-A-(PO_3H_2)_x)_2. In chemical formula, M is a quadrivalent metal atom, A is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-20 alkylene group, substituted or unsubstituted C6-20 arylene group, substituted or unsubstituted C2-20 heteroarylene group, substituted or unsubstituted carbon cyclic group, or substituted or unsubstituted heterocyclic group; and x is a number of two or more. A fuel cell contains a composite film which includes the composite and an ion conductive polymer. The content of the composite is 1-50 parts by weight based on 100.0 parts by weight of an ion conductive polymer.
