Deposition of metals on carbon cloth: Design an electrode Membrane ElectrodeAssembly (MEA)

Abstract

We studied the influence in the oxidation trough sonication of the carbon cloth (CC) and it use to support of Pt catalysts make from autocatalytic deposition that would produce fuel cells with malleable electrodes which would allow better management of the MEA. We found that the substrate fulfills with the requirements that we had waited from a good support: chemical inertness, stability and mechanical resistance. This work shows a possible develop of new electrodes created from cheap, accessible and efficient carbon materials.
