Abstract

A method of controlling the de-alloying of metal alloy particles for fuel cell catalyst layers includes a step of forming a two-phase liquid system that comprises a first liquid and a second liquid. The first liquid is immiscible with the second liquid and the second liquid contains an acid. Metal alloy particles are added to the two-phase system to form a particle-containing liquid mixture. The particle-containing liquid mixture is agitated such that etched metal alloy particles are formed. The resulting etched metal alloy particles are then advantageously used to form fuel cell catalyst layers.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 846,335, filed July 15, 2013, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to methods of making alloyed (leached) catalysts to be used in fuel cell applications. Background technique [0004] Fuel cells are used as power sources in many applications. In particular, fuel cells have been proposed for use in automobiles to replace internal combustion engines. Commonly used fuel cell designs use solid polymer electrolyte ("SPE") membranes or proton exchange membranes ("PEM") to provide ion transport between the anode and cathode. [0005] In a proton exchange membrane type fuel cell, hydrogen is supplied to an anode as a fuel, and oxygen is supplied to a cathode as an oxidant. Oxygen can be pure oxygen or air (O 2 and N 2 mixture) form. Typically, a PEM...
