Different from the method involved dispersion of Pt particles through out the membrane or between two thin membranes. The new type self-humidifying MEA gain self-humidifying operation by asymmetry electrode. The anode with 0.1 mg Pt/cm 2, has super-hydrophilicity by coating the hydrophilic colloid, while the cathode with 0.4 mg Pt/cm 2, has a strong hydrophobic nature by doping PTFE. When the current density is less than 2.3 A/cm 2, the discharge performance of the humidifying gases little excel the self-humidifying operation, but more than 2.3 A/cm 2, the self-humidifying operation do better than humidifying gases operation, and the most power density reaches over 1.5 W/cm 2. Inner resistance of electrochemistry reaction and transportation are studied by the AC impedance method, and validate that the self-humidifying MEA can give a good three-dimension reaction area with dry hydrogen and dry oxygen.展开更多
