Catalyst coated membranes for water electrolysers

Abstract

A catalyst coated membrane for a water electrolyser, the catalyst coated membrane comprising: an ionomer membrane having a first surface and a second surface; an anode catalyst layer on the first surface of the ionomer membrane; and a cathode catalyst layer on the second surface of the ionomer membrane, wherein the ionomer membrane comprises reinforcement material, and wherein the reinforcement material is distributed asymmetrically relative to a central plane of the ionomer membrane such that its average location is closer to the anode catalyst layer than the cathode catalyst layer.
