DEVELOPMENT OF ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR FUEL CELLS

Abstract

The investigation of the use of various raw materials for electrode preparation planned for this project was completed. Studies on the effect of process variables on physical properties has continued and will be completed shortly. Efforts on the improvement of wetproofing behavior of electrode materials were increased as a result of work reported here which shows paraffin treatment obscures electrode surface area and decreases electrode permeability. The construction of a test fuel cell identical to that used at USASRDL is in progress to facilitate electrochemical evaluation of electrodes. (Author)
