Embodiment 1

[0029] Mix Pt / C and Nafion with ethanol aqueous solution to prepare hydrogen side catalytic layer slurry; pre-mix Pt black and polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion after high temperature sintering, and then mix with ethylene dioxide, Nafion and ethanol aqueous solution to prepare oxygen side catalytic layer Then spread the perfluorosulfonic acid proton exchange membrane on the vacuum chuck with heating function, and use the ultrasonic nozzle to coat the hydrogen and oxygen side catalytic layer slurry on both sides of the membrane respectively.

[0030] The preparation of the diffusion layer on the oxygen side is to immerse the single-layer titanium mesh into the polytetrafluoroethylene emulsion, take it out and dry it after immersing for 2-3 hours, then put it into a high-temperature furnace, and heat-treat it at 280-350°C for 0.5-1 hour in a nitrogen atmosphere ; Then mix the titanium dioxide and nano-scale titanium dioxide with the aqueous ethanol solution evenly, and coat it on ...
