Abstract

Highly disperse platinum film were vacuum-plasma-deposited onto titanium foil and gas-diffusion layers. The platinum deposits have complicated structure. By measuring hydrogen desorption peaks, the catalysts’ active specific surface area was determined and the roughness factor calculated. The electrochemical activity of the electrodes on gas-diffusion layers in the oxygen reduction and hydrogen oxidation reactions was determined. It was shown that the catalysts’ specific activity depends on the platinum content and the Nafion-ionomer additive. The high-activity electrodes were tested in Membrane Electrode Assemblies of low-temperature fuel cells.
