摘要：
A decal transfer method based on colloidal ink was developed for the fabrication of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs). The new method requires fewer steps and utilizes H+ form of membrane compared to conventional decal method based on solution ink utilizing Na+ form of membrane. The structural features of the electrodes made by the modified decal method were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The performance of fabricated electrode was evaluated for oxygen reduction reaction in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. The results indicate that the modified decal method has the potential to be a facile method of fabricating electrodes with high performance. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
