Abstract
The present application relates to a fuel cell and a method of manufacturing the same.
Claims18
A fuel cell comprising:
- a cathode;
- an anode;
- and
- an electrolyte membrane provided between the cathode and the anode,
- wherein at least one of the cathode and the anode includes a carrier-metal nanoparticle complex comprising metal nanoparticles including two or more bowl-type particles including a first metal and a second metal on a carrier,
- wherein:
- the bowl-type particles are hollow, and comprise a non-continuous shell with a region in the shell from 30% to 80% of the entire shell where the shell is not formed, wherein the shell comprises:
- a) a layer comprising the first metal and the second metal, wherein the the first metal and the second metal are uniformly or non-uniformly mixed;
- or
- b) a first layer comprising the first metal and a second layer comprising the second metal.

A method of manufacturing a fuel cell, the method comprising:
- preparing an electrolyte membrane;
- forming a cathode on one surface of the electrolyte membrane;
- and
- forming an anode on the other surface of the electrolyte membrane,
- wherein at least one of the cathode and the anode includes a carrier-metal nanoparticle complex where metal nanoparticles including one or more bowl-type particles including a first metal and a second metal are carried in a carrier,
- wherein:
- the bowl-type particles are hollow, and comprise a non-continuous shell with a region in the shell from 30% to 80% of the entire shell where the shell is not formed, wherein the shell comprises:
- a) a layer comprising the first metal and the second metal, wherein the the first metal and the second metal are uniformly or non-uniformly mixed;
- or
- b) a first layer comprising the first metal and a second layer comprising the second metal.
