Fuel Cell

Fuel Cell Coatings A variety of fuel cells utilize catalysts at both the anode (to oxidize fuel and convert it to protons/hydrogen cations and electrons) and the cathode (convert hydrogen cations and oxygen to water), often precious metal, nanocarbon, or other nanomaterial-based. Doped carbon nanotubes and core-shell metallic or composite nanoparticles are two examples of such. Such catalyst materials need first to be synthesized and then coated onto electrode and/or membrane surfaces for use in fuel cells. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) that do not utilize catalyst coatings are also of interest. Cheersonic high-temperature nozzles, nebulizers, and particle generators can be used for fuel cell catalyst nanomaterial synthesis via chemical vapor deposition and/or spray pyrolysis techniques. Moreover, Cheersonic can custom manufacture AACVD and spray pyrolysis systems for fuel cell catalyst synthesis, based on customer goals and requirements, whether for the development or production of c...

Spraying Fuel Cell Coatings Create durable, uniform thin film fuel cell catalyst coatings for PEM, CCM, MEA, and GDL manufacturing Cheersonic’s fuel cell catalyst coating systems are uniquely suited for these challenging applications by creating highly uniform, repeatable, and durable coatings.  From R&D to production, our non-clogging technology results in greater control of coating attributes, significant reduction in materials usage, and reduced maintenance and downtime. Cheersonic ultrasonic coating systems produce highly durable, uniform, coatings of carbon-based catalyst inks onto both fuel cell and electrolysis processes for proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzers such as Nafion, without deformation of the membrane. Uniform catalyst coatings are deposited onto PEM fuel cells, GDLs, electrodes, various electrolyte membranes, and solid oxide fuel cells with suspensions containing carbon black inks, PTFE binder, ceramic slurries, platinum and other precious metals.
