A low-cost electrode utilizing a carbon fiber paper substrate and a 20% Platinum on Vulcan Carbon support catalyst. This low loading is designed for cost sensitive applications and is suitable for electrochemical systems needing low amounts of Platinum to support the reaction. This electrode is perfect for Hydrogen/Air Fuel Cell applications where the extra cost of the higher loading GDE may not be justified. The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) used is Sigracet 22 BB which is 215 microns thick. Other GDL materials are also available by custom request, as are custom sizes and loadings.
Includes a Nafion Post Coat for improved water management and adhesion to the membrane.
