Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0051435A1] The present disclosure is directed to an improved fibrillated, matrix-type active layer; laminated electrodes containing it which possess improved strength and durability and are capable of operation at high current density with enhanced resistance to mechanical failure, a process for producing such improved active layers and laminates. The process for producing these electrode active layers is characterized by alternately or simultaneously producing two components; combining the components; shear blending (fibrillating) the mixture; drying; chopping to a fine powder form, and rolling into a self-sustaining, coherent sheet form. Alternatively, the active layer can be formed by wet deposition of the powder on a filter paper or like medium. The term "matrix" as used herein means that the active carbon particles are present within an unsintered network of carbon black/PTFE (fibrillated) material. This three-layer laminated electrode includes a porous, coherent, hydrophobic polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-containing backing (wetproofing) layer, with or without carbon black therein, in contact with the nonworking surface of a "matrix" active layer containing catalyzed or uncatalyzed active carbon particles present within an unsintered network of fibrillated carbon black-PTFE and an electroconductive current distributor laminated to the working surface of said active layer, and to a process for making said laminate.
