Abstract
The present invention is directed to methods of making a nanofiber-nanoparticle network to be used as electrodes of fuel cells. The method comprises electrospinning a polymer-containing material on a substrate to form nanofibers and electrospraying a catalyst-containing material on the nanofibers on the same substrate. The nanofiber-nanoparticle network made by the methods is suitable for use as electrodes in fuel cells.
Claims20
A method of making a polymer fiber structure, the method comprising:
- applying a polymer to a substrate via an electrospinning needle to form a nanofiber material on a substrate;
- and
- applying a catalyst to the nanofiber material via the electrospinning needle to deposit the catalyst on the nanofiber material.
