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 20240093391 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 iridium and/or ruthenium. The first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer.
- The laminated catalyst includes an oxide layer with non-noble metals.
- The first and second catalyst layers contain noble metals like iridium and/or ruthenium.
- The first catalyst layer is denser than the second catalyst layer.
