Problems, components and methods for making polymer fuel cell electrodes and applying nanotechnology to solve their problems

Fuel cells have a significant role in reducing environmental pollution and Due to the lack of mechanical parts often do not make noise. Polymer membrane fuel cells is one of the most attractive in terms of design and performance of a fuel cell. Most of the platinum catalyst is used in this fuel cell, that’s high prices have prevented widespread use of fuel cell. Using nanotechnology electrodes can be light, thin and inexpensive to produce better yields than conventional electrodes. In the field of Nano-carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, or compounds that are Nano scale pores have used. The new research used instead of platinum cathode materials with carbon nanotubes doped with nitrogen and transition metals cobalt and iron are used to facilitate electron transfer and catalytic properties. This paper also examines the various components of PEM fuel cells as the electrode, electrolyte, etc. PEM electrode manufacturing methods are discussed
