Technology and structural characteristics of electrode material in the Pt/C–Taunite-MD–Nafion system

Abstract

Laboratory technique was developed for fabrication of an electrode material containing a platinized carbon black, carbon nanofibers, and proton-conducting polymer Nafion. Scanning and transmission electron microscopy was used to study the structure of the material and experimental dependences were obtained that relate the properties and structure of the electrode material to its structure and fabrication technique and make it possible to obtain a material with prescribed service characteristics.
