- MEA fuel cell membrane electrode assembly
- FFP flow field plates
- CCP current collector plates
- the MEA generally includes a proton exchange membrane and two electrodes separately disposed on two opposite surfaces of the proton exchange membrane. Further, each electrode includes a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer. The catalyst layer is configured for being sandwiched between the gas diffusion layer and the proton exchange membrane.
- the material of the proton exchange membrane is selected from the group consisting of perfluorosulfonic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polystyrene trifluoroacetic acid, phenol formaldehyde resin acid, and hydrocarbons.
- the catalyst layer includes catalyst materials and carriers.
- the catalyst materials are selected from the group consisting of metal particles, such as platinum particles, gold particles, and ruthenium particles.
- the carriers are generally carbon particles, such as graphite, carbon black, carbon fiber or carbon nanotubes.

- a process of making the carbon fiber paper is by the steps of: mixing carbon fibers, wood pulp, and cellulose fibers; using the mixture to obtain a paper pulp; and then forming the carbon fiber paper from the paper pulp.
- the process of making the carbon fiber paper has the following disadvantages: Firstly, the carbon fibers in the carbon fiber paper are not uniformly dispersed, thereby the gaps therein are uneven resulting in the carbon fibers having a small specific surface area. Thus, the structure restricts the gas diffusion layer to uniformly diffuse the gases, which is needed for the MEA.
- the carbon fiber paper has high electrical resistance, thus, restricting the transfer of electrons between the gas diffusion layer and the external electrical circuit, thereby reducing the reaction activity of the MEA.
- the carbon fiber paper has poor tensile strength, and is difficult to process.
- a membrane electrode assembly includes a proton exchange membrane and two electrodes.
- the proton exchange membrane includes two opposite surfaces.
- the two electrodes are separately disposed on the opposite surfaces of the proton exchange membrane.

- the gas diffusion layer 16 includes a carbon nanotube film.
- the carbon nanotube film includes a plurality of carbon nanotubes tangled with each other. The adjacent carbon nanotubes are combined and entangled by van der Waals attractive force, thereby forming a network structure/microporous structure. Further, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are isotropic, uniformly dispersed, and disorderly arranged. Due to the carbon nanotube film having a plurality of carbon nanotubes entangled with each other and the microporous structure, the carbon nanotube film has good tensile strength, thereby having a free-standing structure. It is understood that the carbon nanotube film is very microporous. Sizes of the micropores are less of 100 micrometers. Length and width of the carbon nanotube film are not limited. A thickness of the carbon nanotube film is in an approximate range from 1 micrometer to 2 millimeters.

- the material of the proton exchange membrane 12 is selected from the group consisting of perfluorosulfonic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polystyrene trifluoroacetic acid, phenol-formaldehyde resin acid, and hydrocarbons.

- the carbon nanotube film is formed by the substeps of: (a1) providing a raw material of carbon nanotubes; (a2) adding the raw material of carbon nanotubes to a solvent to get a floccule structure; and (a3) separating the floccule structure from the solvent, and shaping/molding the separated floccule structure to obtain a carbon nanotube film.
- a raw material of carbon nanotubes is an array of carbon nanotubes, quite suitably, a super-aligned array of carbon nanotubes.
- the array of carbon nanotubes contains a plurality of carbon nanotubes, which are selected from the group consisting of single-walled carbon nanotubes, double-walled carbon nanotubes, and multi-walled carbon nanotubes.

- the super-aligned array of carbon nanotubes can, opportunely, have a height more than 100 microns and include a plurality of carbon nanotubes parallel to each other and approximately perpendicular to the substrate. Because the length of the carbon nanotubes is very long, portions of the carbon nanotubes are bundled together. Moreover, the super-aligned array of carbon nanotubes formed under the above conditions is essentially free of impurities such as carbonaceous or residual catalyst particles. The carbon nanotubes in the super-aligned array are closely packed together by the van der Waals attractive force.

- the size of the spread floccule structure is, advantageously, used to control a thickness and a surface density of the carbon nanotube film. As such, the larger the area of a given amount of the floccule structure is spread over, the less the thickness and density of the carbon nanotube film.
- the carbon nanotube film is, advantageously, easy to be folded and/or bent into arbitrary shapes without rupture.
- the thickness of the carbon nanotube film is in the approximate range from 1 micrometer to 2 millimeters, and the width of the carbon nanotube film is in the approximate range from 1 millimeter to 10 centimeters.

The adjacent carbon nanotubes are combined and tangled by van der Waals attractive force, thereby forming a network structure/microporous structure. Further, the carbon nanotubes in the carbon nanotube film are isotropic, uniformly dispersed, and arranged in disorder. Thus, the carbon nanotube film has the microporous structure and a large specific surface area. As such, in one side of MEA 618 , the hydrogen can be effectively and uniformly diffused in the carbon nanotube film. The hydrogen fully contacts with metal particles in the catalyst layer 608 . Thus, the catalytic reaction activity of the metal particles with the hydrogen is enhanced.
- the oxidant gases are also uniformly diffused to the catalyst layer 608 through the carbon nanotube film, thereby fully contacting with the metal particles of the catalyst layer 608 .
- the catalytic reaction activity of the metal particles with the hydrogen ions and electrons is enhanced. Due to the carbon nanotube film having good conductivity, the electrons needed or generated in the reactions are quickly conducted by the carbon nanotube film.
- a method for making the carbon nanotube film to be used as the gas diffusion layer 606 has the following virtues. Firstly, through flocculating, the carbon nanotubes are bundled together by van der Walls attractive force to form a network structure/floccule structure. Thus, the carbon nanotube film is very durable. Secondly, the carbon nanotube film is very simply and efficiently produced by the method. A result of the production process of the method, is that thickness and surface density of the carbon nanotube film are controllable.
