This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project addresses the need for low-cost manufacturing of fuel cell components, by the development of a reel-to-reel electrodeposition process to maximize catalyst dispersion and utilization at loadings of 0.1 mg/cm2. In Phase I, 1) The feasibility of plating 0.1 mg Pt/cm2 loadings of highly dispersed catalyst (120 m2/g Pt) onto carbon electrodes will be demonstrated, 2) the catalyzed electrodes will be analyzed for loading, dispersion and performance in fuel cell stacks, and 3) a reel to- reel electrodeposition system will be designed. The ultimate customer for the proposed technology is the automotive consumer. It is expected that 2.4 million fuel cell powered vehicles, a 4.3% market share in global auto production, will be on the road by 2011. Further commercial applications include stationary and non-automotive mobile power sources.

这个小型企业技术转移（STTR）项目的第一阶段解决了燃料电池组件低成本制造的需求，通过开发卷到卷的电沉积工艺，以最大限度地分散催化剂，并在0.1 mg/cm2的负载下利用催化剂。在第一阶段，1)将证明在碳电极上镀上0.1 mg Pt/cm2负载的高分散催化剂（120 m2/g Pt）的可行性，2)将分析催化电极在燃料电池堆中的负载、分散和性能，3)将设计一个卷到卷的电沉积系统。这项技术的最终用户是汽车消费者。预计到2011年将有240万辆燃料电池驱动的汽车上路，占全球汽车产量的4.3%。进一步的商业应用包括固定和非汽车移动电源。
