LAMINATED CATALYST, ELECTRODE, MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, STACK, AND ELECTROLYZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18459636 titled 'LAMINATED CATALYST, ELECTRODE, MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, STACK, AND ELECTROLYZER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a laminated catalyst with an oxide layer, a first catalyst layer, and a second catalyst layer. The oxide layer contains non-noble metals, while the first and second catalyst layers contain noble metals such as Ir and/or Ru.
- The laminated catalyst includes an oxide layer with non-noble metals.
- The first catalyst layer consists of an oxide of noble metals like Ir and/or Ru.
- The second catalyst layer also comprises an oxide of noble metals like Ir and/or Ru.
- The first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer.
Potential Applications
The technology could be used in fuel cells, chemical production, and environmental remediation processes.
Problems Solved
The laminated catalyst provides improved catalytic activity and stability due to the combination of non-noble and noble metals in different layers.
Benefits
Enhanced performance, increased efficiency, and longer lifespan compared to traditional catalysts.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Advanced Laminated Catalyst Technology for Sustainable Energy Solutions"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of single-layer catalysts with only noble metals, lacking the unique combination of non-noble and noble metals in separate layers.
What is the impact of the different densities of the catalyst layers on overall performance?
The denser first catalyst layer may provide better adhesion and stability, while the less dense second catalyst layer could enhance mass transfer and surface reactivity.
How does the presence of non-noble metals in the oxide layer affect the catalytic activity compared to catalysts without them?
The inclusion of non-noble metals in the oxide layer may improve the overall catalytic performance by enhancing the interaction between different metal species and promoting synergistic effects.
Original Abstract Submitted
A laminated catalyst according to an embodiment includes an oxide layer, a first catalyst layer on the oxide layer and a second catalyst layer on the first catalyst layer. The oxide layer is a layer of oxide including one or more non-noble metals as a main component. The first catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component. The second catalyst layer includes an oxide of noble metal including Ir and/or Ru as a main component. The first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer.
