Outline of Final Research Achievements

The objective of this study was to obtain design guidelines for the structures of the electrodes using a carbon-free connected nanoparticle catalyst, which is necessary to achieve high-power polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs). In this study, the structural control of the microporous layer (MPL) was conducted for efficient water transport from the carbon-free catalyst layer to a gas diffusion layer. In addition, the effects of the MPL structures on the fuel cell performances in the high current density region were clarified. Furthermore, this study demonstrated the structural control of the carbon-free catalyst layer by a new method using latex particles as templates. Thus, this study has succeeded in systematically controlling the electrode structures and provided useful knowledge for realizing high-power PEFCs.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究は、カーボンフリー触媒層を用いた電極の系統的な構造制御に取り組み、固体高分子形燃料電池の高出力化のための有用な知見を獲得した。本研究のアプローチは、固体アルカリ燃料電池、水電解などの他のエネルギーデバイスの電極構造の設計・開発に対しても有効であると考えられ、研究の更なる展開が見込める。この様に、本研究で得られた成果は、昨今のエネルギー問題に貢献でき、カーボンニュートラル社会の実現の一助になると期待される。
