Abstract:	The conventional 5-layer membrane electrode assembly (MEA) consists of a proton exchange membrane (PEM) locating at its center, two layers of Pt-C-40 (Pt content 40 wt%) locating next on both surfaces of PEM, and two gas diffusion layers (GDL) locating next on the outer surfaces of Pt-C layers (structure-a MEA). In this paper, we report three modified MEAs consisting of Pt-C-40 (Pt content 40 wt%) and Pt-C-80 (Pt content 80 wt%) catalysts. These are: (1) 7-layer structure-b MEA with a thin Pt-C-80 layer locating between Pt-C-40 layer and PEM: (2) 7-layer structure-c MEA with a thin Pt-C-80 layer locating between Pt-C-40 layer and GDL; and (3)5-layer structure-d MEA with Pt-C-40 and Pt-C-80 mixing homogeneously and locating between PEM and GDL. Under a fixed Pt loading, we find structure-b, -c, and -d MEAs with 20-40 wt% Pt contributed from Pt-C-80 have better fuel cell performance than structure-a MEA consisting only of Pt-C-40. The reasons for the better fuel cell performance of these modified MEAs are attributed to the better feasibility for O(2) gas to reach cathode Pt particles and lower proton transport resistance in catalyst layers of the modified MEAs than structure-a MEA.
