Optimization of Pt-Doped KOCITE (Trade Name) Electrodes in H3PO4 Fuel Cells.

Abstract

The use of UOP Inc. Kocite (R*)-derived electrocatlysts as low-cost air and/or fuel electrocatalysts in phosphoric acid electrolyte fuel cells has been optimized with respect to some of the electrocatlyst and electrode structure parameters. Kocite-derived electrocatalysts are made from Kocite R* materials, which are composite structures consisting of pyropolymers chemically bonded to refractory substrates. Fuel cell electrodes are fabricated from these electrocatalysts and normally tested as anodes and cathodes in model fuel cells. (Author)
