Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing an anode for a fuel cell. The method includes: synthesizing a fuel cell catalyst used to oxidize a fuel for the anode in an electrochemical manner; forming an electrode for the anode by use of the synthesized fuel cell catalyst; and synthesizing an electrolysis catalyst, which is used to electrolyze water, on the electrode as the electrolysis catalyst is loaded into the anode. By introducing the electrolysis catalyst on the fuel cell electrode that has already been formed, deformation of the structure of the electrode is minimized and performance of the electrode is improved.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of manufacturing an anode for a fuel cell, the method comprising: synthesizing a fuel cell catalyst for an anode using an electrochemical technique; forming an electrode for the anode using the synthesized fuel cell catalyst; and synthesizing an electrolysis catalyst in the form of particles, which is used to electrolyze water, on the electrode while simultaneously loading the electrolysis catalyst on the anode; wherein the electrolysis cataly…
