Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing an electrode and an electrode for a fuel cell, especially a low temperature fuel cell. According to the method, a blank containing organic polymers is subjected to a thermal treatment in order to convert the organic polymers at least partially into conductive polymers, especially with a graphite-type structure.
Claims11
A method of producing an electrode for a low temperature fuel cell, which comprises:
- providing a blank formed with a plurality of layers including:
- an outer layer comprising at least one organic polymer;
- and
- an electrically conductive layer adjacent the outer layer, and
- heat-treating the blank to at least partially convert the at least one organic polymer into conductor polymer forming a low temperature fuel cell electrode.
An electrode for a low temperature fuel cell, comprising an outer layer and an electrically conductive layer adjacent said outer layer, said outer layer and said conductive layer together forming a low temperature fuel cell electrode, said outer layer containing conductor polymer formed by thermal conversion of at least one organic polymer.
