Thin film glass composite catalyst electrode

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a glass composite catalyst electrode comprising a glass matrix and metal particles incorporated into the glass matrix. The present disclosure also relates to a method for composing a glass composite catalyst electrode. A glass composite catalyst electrode is a porous homogeneous structure with an approximately uniform distribution of metal particles. The metal particles are operable to catalyze reactions in the fuel cell. Conductive material, which may also be operable to catalyze reactions in the fuel cell, may be deposited on the glass composite catalyst electrode in order to increase the electrical conductivity of the glass composite catalyst electrode and to increase the electrochemically active area of the glass composite catalyst electrode.
