A New Technology of Scrape-Applied Method for the Manufacturing of MEA of Fuel-Cell System

Abstract

The technical transfer from electrode of lithium battery to MEA of fuel cells (including PEMFC and DMFC) were discussed in this study. There are three common methods for the manufacturing of lithium battery electrode; such as roller-applied method, scrape-applied method and spurt-applied method. The first two methods are the most commonly used method. This study was focused on the development of new scrape-applied equipment for lithium battery electrode. This new method was tested by measure the weight and thickness of dry electrode. The stability and reproducibility on electrode fabrication were also conducted by systematical data analysis. The results can offer an important basis to the future research on academic and commercial field.
