Catalyst Ink
Catalyst ink is used for Preparation of Gas Diffusion Electrodes and Catalyst Coated Membranes.
♦ Saves time and effort.
♦ This ink can be utilized for either spray or knife coating
♦ Great uniformity
The ultrasonicator, along with various lab equipment and chemicals, is required for preparing the electro catalytic ink. Importing small quantities is challenging due to the high cost of the catalyst and Nafion solution. The catalyst ink is very useful for research groups who work on electrochemistry. The CCM and GDE prepared by this ink makes it suitable for various electrochemical applications. The electrode created using this ink exhibits good performance of approximately 0.8-1A/cm2 at a voltage of 0.6 V. The dispersion of platinum electrocatalyst is ideal for both spraying and brush coating.
There is also an option to obtain catalyst ink with PTFE as a binder, a crucial component for fuel cells operating at elevated temperatures, reaching up to 300oC. You can store the ink in the fridge, and it remains usable for over 3 to 4 months. To prevent the ink from drying out, it is necessary to include a small quantity of water or solvent as and when required.
This particular ink is used for various electrochemical applications such as PEMFC / DMFC.
