TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - INORGANIC CHEMISTRY - Preferred Process: Raised relief printing is flexographic printing. Raised relief printing is repeated to form multiple electrode layers covering the same part of the surface of the membrane. Raised relief printing provides multiple electrode layers which vary in composition among the multiple layers. Raised relief printing is performed with at least one non-electrocatalytic coating composition to form a non-electrocatalytic layer over at least part of the same area of the membrane which is covered by an electrode layer. Non-electrocatalytic layer is an abrasion-resistant coating covering the electrode layer. Raised relief printing is performed with catalyst coating composition onto the opposite surface of an ion exchange membrane, such that at least one electrode layer covering at least a part of the opposite surface of the membrane is formed in registration with the electrode layer on the first surface. Ion exchange polymer in the electrocatalyst coating composition and in the membrane comprise highly fluorinated or perfluorinated ion exchange polymer. EXAMPLE - 13.2 wt.% solid perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer in n-butanol dispersion was mixed with n-butanol (g) (77.31). The resulted mixture was cooled to -10 degrees C, well below the 35 degrees C n-butanol flash point, by the addition of dry ice. To the cooled mixture, 60/40 C/Pt (18.75) was added slowly with vigorous stirring in order to wet out the powder instantly and to rapidly dissipate the heat of adsorption. The calculated catalyst content with respect to dry solid content was calculated to be 83.07 wt.%. The mixture was combined with zirconia cylinders grinding media (100) in a 250 cm3 mill jar. The jar was sealed and placed on a roll mill table at -200 rpm at room temperature for 3-5 days. The obtained coating composition was ready for testing and printing operations. The electrocatalyst coating composition was printed directly on a variety of perfluorinated sulfonic acid polymer film substrates, to obtain catalyst coating membranes for use in fuel cells.
