摘要:
Provided is a porous electrode substrate having high mechanical strength, good handling properties, high thickness precision, little undulation, and adequate gas permeability and conductivity. Also provided is a method for producing a porous electrode substrate at low costs. A porous electrode substrate is produced by joining short carbon fibers (A) via mesh-like of carbon fibers (B) having an average diameter of 4 μm or smaller. Further provided are a membrane-electrode assembly and a polymer electrolyte fuel cell that use this porous electrode membrane. A porous electrode substrate is obtained by subjecting a precursor sheet, in which short carbon fibers (A) and short carbon fiber precursors (b) having an average diameter of 5 μm or smaller have been dispersed, to carbonization treatment after optional hot press forming and optional oxidization treatment.
主权项:
1. A porous electrode substrate comprising short carbon fibers which are not directly bonded, but joined via mesh carbon fibers having an average diameter of 4 μm or smaller, wherein the mesh carbon fibers are derived from short carbon fiber precursors obtained by cutting long carbon fiber precursors.
