DiffuCarb™ E256c PtRu/HSC Carbon Paper Electrode
MGL370 · PtRu/HSC · Anionic Binder · AEMFC / AFC / AEMWE
The DiffuCarb™ E256c PtRu/HSC-Carbon Paper Electrode is an advanced electrode specially designed for Anion Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (AEMFC), Alkaline Fuel Cells (AFC), and Alkaline Water Electrolysis (AEMWE) applications.
It combines a high-specific-surface-area platinum-ruthenium (PtRu) catalyst with high-surface-area carbon support. MGL370 carbon paper is used as the substrate for gas diffusion and electrical conduction, while an anionic binder is incorporated to promote ion transport in alkaline electrode structures.
