ENGINEERING OF NOVEL FUEL CELL CATHODE INTERFACES WITH SURFACE-INITIATED IONOMER FILMS BASED ON MODIFIED POLYNORBORNENE
In this dissertation we describe a strategy to molecularly optimize the cathode side of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell. This new cathode consists of a porous gold membrane with pores that function as gas diffusion conduits while supporting a catalyst layer and ionomer. The ionomer chains are g...
