METHOD FOR DETERMINING GOOD-QUALITY PRODUCT OF ELECTRODE INK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18281017 titled 'METHOD FOR DETERMINING GOOD-QUALITY PRODUCT OF ELECTRODE INK
Simplified Explanation
The present invention relates to an electrode ink where ionomers are adsorbed around a catalyst carrier to form primary and secondary aggregates. The quality of the electrode ink is determined based on the modulus of elasticity, with a higher amount of primary aggregate indicating good quality.
- Catalyst carriers aggregate together to form a secondary aggregate.
- Modulus of elasticity is used to estimate the states of primary and secondary aggregates in the electrode ink.
- If the contained amount of the primary aggregate is greater than that of the secondary aggregate, the electrode ink is considered good-quality.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in fuel cells, batteries, and other electrochemical devices where electrode inks are used.
Problems Solved
This innovation helps in determining the quality of electrode inks, ensuring better performance and reliability in electrochemical devices.
Benefits
- Improved quality control in electrode ink production - Enhanced performance of electrochemical devices - Cost-effective manufacturing process
Potential Commercial Applications
"Quality Control in Electrode Ink Production: Applications in Fuel Cells and Batteries"
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of modulus of elasticity to determine the quality of materials in various industries, such as in the production of composites or polymers.

Original Abstract Submitted
According to the present invention, in an electrode ink, ionomers are adsorbed around a catalyst carrier to form a primary aggregate which does not aggregate with another catalyst carrier, and catalyst carriers aggregate together to form a secondary aggregate. In this method for determining a good-quality product of an electrode ink, the modulus of elasticity of the electrode ink is detected. Furthermore, on the basis of the modulus of elasticity, the states of the primary aggregate and the secondary aggregate in the electrode ink are estimated, and, if the contained amount of the primary aggregate is greater than that of the secondary aggregate, the electrode ink is determined to be good-quality.
