Electrochemical reactor and active layer integrated into said reactor

摘要

The invention concerns an active layer for an electrochemical reactor comprising:—a carbon electronic conductor which is not a fullerene as a support; and —a catalytic system made up of one or more metals and a fullerene. It also concerns an electrochemical reactor integrating such an active layer.

主权项

1. An electrochemical reactor comprising an active layer, the active layer comprising:
a support consisting of carbon black; and a catalytic system, wherein the catalytic system comprises:
at least one metal and a non-functionalized fullerene, wherein the non-functionalized fullerene does not comprise a proton affinity group, wherein the at least one metal is platinum (Pt) or palladium (Pd), and wherein the at least one metal is deposited on the fullerene, ora metallofullerene, wherein the metallofullerene does not comprise a proton affinity group, and wherein metallofullerene comprises Pt or Pd, wherein the support is mixed with the catalytic system, or wherein the support is fully or partially coated with the catalytic system.
