Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an electrode which has a sufficient corrosion resistance and an excellent polarizing performance by using a partly graphitized active carbon as a catalyst carrier. CONSTITUTION:Active carbon is obtained by sintering wood flour, coconut shell, pitch or the like at 600-700 deg.C. Graphite is obtained by sintering thus obtained active carbon at around 8,000 deg.C. However, when the above active carbon is sintered at 2,000 deg.C, partly graphitized active carbon is obtained. In this invension, 10g of graphitized active carbon prepared by sintering active carbon at 1,900 deg.C is added with 20g of silver nitrate, and the mixture is reduced with hydrogen so as to obtain graphitized active carbon catalyst containing silver. After that, thus obtained catalyst is added with 6g of polytetrafluoroethylene, the mixture is formed into a sheet, and the sheet is subjected to heat treatment at 860 deg.C so as to make an electrode.

Noble metals such as platinum, palladium, and silver are often used as catalysts for fuel cell electrodes. However, since these catalysts have a low weight, they are usually supported on a carrier. Conventionally, activated carbon or graphite has been used as a carrier.
Although it has a large area and relatively high conductivity and exhibits good performance as an electrode, it does not have sufficient corrosion resistance and cannot be used as a support for a catalyst for JlllKlll, as it may oxidize and cause the electrode to collapse.9. On the other hand, graphite has sufficient corrosion resistance and conductivity, but has a small specific surface area and poor electrolyte drying performance.

(1) Despite the decrease in specific surface area, the graphitized activated vertical electrode according to the present invention has better properties than activated carbon electrodes. This is thought to be because the performance improvement due to graphitization improves the electrical conductivity (1), resulting in a decrease in the electrical resistance of the electrode, which outweighs the performance improvement due to a slight decrease in the specific surface area.
