Item 11 relates to a fuel cell in which phosphoric acid-resistant fibers are mixed in a catalytically active component to improve the strength of an electrode having a catalytically active component on a conductive base material.

ら、電極板触媒層に亀裂が入る欠点があった。Conventionally, electrode plates used in fuel cells using phosphoric acid as an electrolyte are made by mixing an electrode catalyst in which active ingredients are supported on carbon powder with polytetrafluoroethylene, an organic binder, on a conductive substrate. It was formed by coating and firing. The applied electrode catalyst is bound to the conductive substrate by the binding force of polytetrafluoroethylene alone, so the binding force with the conductive substrate is weak, so the electrode catalyst may peel off or carbon powder particles may form. Since the binding force between the electrode plates is weak, cracks may occur in the electrode plate catalyst layer.

The weight change of the galvanic single plate formed by adding TRIX material fibers was 2%, and the strength was significantly improved. In addition, the performance of the electrode plate formed by the present invention and the electrode plate formed by the conventional method was evaluated by supplying air in 190R phosphoric acid and measuring the monopolar potential as an air electrode during running.

As is clear from this figure, it was found that the performance was improved when the electrode plate prepared according to the present invention was used. Factors that improve this performance include (1) IJ lux material fibers are included in the electrode catalyst layer, so the fibers retain phosphoric acid; (4) IJ lux absorbs phosphoric acid from the surface in contact with the electrode catalyst layer It is considered to be a rounding that creates 4 three-phase interfaces within.
