Problems solved by technology

The traditional CCM electrode and GDE electrode have mature preparation technology, but the thickness of the catalytic layer of the electrode is large, and the catalyst is piled up disorderly, which makes the amount of catalyst used high and the utilization rate of catalyst low
In order to solve the problems of high consumption of precious metals and low catalyst utilization in fuel cells, 3M has developed an ordered thin-layer electrode (NSTF electrode, Nanostructured Thin Film electrode), which has the characteristics of microscopic order and low catalyst loading. , which can effectively reduce mass transfer resistance and improve catalyst utilization
