    Abstract: In a method of producing an electrode comprising a layer of an electrocatalytic material on a substrate, at least one liquid medium containing a precursor to the electrocatalytic material is atomized to produce droplets containing the precursor and the droplets are entrained in a stream of carrier gas moving in a first direction. The droplets entrained in the carrier gas stream are then heated to remove the liquid medium and convert the precursor to particles of the electrocatalytic material. The electrocatalytic material particles entrained in said capier gas stream are then brought into contact with the substrate, whereby the electrocataiytic particles are separated from the carrier gas and collected on the substrate. By imparting relative movement between the substrate and the carrier gas stream in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction a continuous layer of the electrocatalytic material can be progressively deposited on the substrate.

    Abstract: A process for the activation of a membrane electrode assembly, such as a direct methanol fuel cell membrane electrode assembly, with a hydrocarbon fuel, e.g., an alkanol fuel such as methanol, and an oxidant is described. The process comprises repeatedly applying an increasing or decreasing potential in each of a plurality of cycles over a voltage range of at least 0.1 volts, e.g., at least 0.2 volts or at least 0.3 volts, until the membrane electrode assembly is substantially activated. The cycles optionally are organized in cycle sets with rest periods therebetween. The temperature at which the cycles are run optionally is increased or decreased in a respective cycle set.
