Abstract

A membrane for a fuel cell is provided with a deposit of a finely divided metal catalyst e.g. platinum by e.g. immersing a resin membrane in a 15% solution of hydrazine hydrate at 50 DEG C. for 30 minutes, rinsing, immersing in a 3% solution of sodium chloroplatinate having a pH value of 3-4 for 30 minutes at a temperature of 55-60 DEG C., and then leeching first with water and then with NH2SO4. The resultant platinum deposit was 0.01-0.05 mm's. thick. The Specification also describes other similar examples. Mixed noble catalysts may be deposited and the membrane with its catalyst deposit may be made the cathode in an electrolytic cell and further deposits superimposed from pure of mixed metal chloride solution.
