<p>The present methods make fluid diffusion layers having reduced surface roughness. The methods used for adhering the loading material to the substrate surface can reduce the average surface roughness of the fluid diffusion layers, thereby reducing leaks in and damage to ion exchange membranes. When fluid diffusion layers and electrodes having reduced surface roughness are employed in membrane electrode assemblies, better reliability and performance are obtained. A method of calculating the surface roughness of a fluid diffusion layer may be used.</p> |
