Aqueous electrode binder and electrodes and fuel cells including same

摘要

An aqueous binder for making an electrode is provided. The aqueous binder includes water, a polymeric alcohol, a non-polymeric alcohol, a water-soluble resin, a drying moderator, and optionally an anti-foaming agent. The aqueous binder typically includes mostly water such that minimal toxic substances are evolved when the aqueous binder is used to produce electrodes. Electrodes and fuel cells assembled using the aqueous binder are also described.
