ABSTRACTElectrodes which are resistant to chemical poisoning by CO, S, and other fuel impurities are needed to replace Pt in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. We have designed composite electrodes comprised of single walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) within a conducting polymer matrix. A method for solubilizing single-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in aqueous media using polyelectrolyte layer-by-layer (LbL) nanoassembly of polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) and polyallylamine (PAH) at the CNT surface is elucidated. Once soluble, the CNTs were assembled onto planar substrates using alternate LbL nanoassembly to form nanocomposite films. These films will later be tested for their potential as alternative anodes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells.

Nach Ankündigung diverser batterieelektrischer Modelle wird auch die PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane)-Brennstoffzelle als mögliche Zukunftstechnologie im Last- und Linienverkehr diskutiert. Ob und wann sich eine Technologie durchsetzt, hängt von der verwendeten Produktionstechnik ab, denn diese bestimmt Stückzahlen und resultierende Kosten. Die Vergangenheit zeigt, dass sich produzierende Industrien oft entlang vorhandener Kompetenzen in etablierten Bereichen entwickelt haben. In diesem Beitrag sollen daher Synergiepotenziale zwischen der Batterie- und Brennstoffzellenfertigung diskutiert werden.   Following the announcement of various battery electric models, PEM fuel cells are also discussed as a future technology in truck and line traffic. Whether and when a technology will be generally accepted depends largely on the production technology used, as this determines the number of units and the resulting costs. The past has shown that manufacturing industries have often developed along existing competencies in established areas. This article will therefore discuss the potential synergies between battery and fuel cell production.
