NANOSTRUCTURED ELECTRODE MEMBRANES

摘要

A nanostructured composite film comprising a plurality of nanostructured elements, wherein the nanostructured elements are either two-component sub-microscopie structures comprised of whiskers conformally catalytically active material or one component sub-microscopic structures comprised of a conducting, perferentially catalytically active material, such that the nanostructured elements are embedded in an encapsulant, wherein the encapsulant can be a solid electrolyte. The composite film can be used as an electrode membrane, in an electrochemical cell or an analyte sensor.
