Problems solved by technology

However, due to the porous material structure, the membrane electrode prepared by it has a large interface effect, and the distribution of gas in the catalytic layer is not uniform. The uniform distribution of platinum catalyst will cause waste of catalyst in the catalytic layer and reduce the utilization of platinum catalyst. Rate
[0005] The above schemes all have problems such as low platinum catalytic efficiency, poor utilization rate, high preparation cost, or uneven gas distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a proton exchange membrane fuel cell membrane electrode with high platinum catalytic efficiency and low cost.
