Problems solved by technology

There are many research reports on the preparation process of each component of the membrane electrode, but the traditional membrane electrode preparation process separates the preparation of the proton exchange membrane layer and the catalytic layer, which increases the overall complexity of the system and uses many preparation devices, making the fuel cell preparation process difficult. Low integration and high cost
Further reducing the overall thickness of MEA to prepare ultra-thin high-performance membrane electrodes has led to the development trend of MEA preparation. The traditional MEA preparation process is difficult to achieve flexible control of the thickness of the proton exchange layer, which restricts the further development of MEA.
