Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2894077A1] The method involves depositing a porous carbon electrode on a gas diffusing substrate using plasma sputtering in a vacuum chamber. The electrode has a catalyst that is used to accelerate chemical reactions that take place in a fuel cell. A membrane having thickness less than 20 micrometers and made of proton conducting material is deposited on the electrode. Another porous carbon electrode comprising the catalyst is deposited on the membrane using plasma sputtering in the vacuum chamber. The former and latter electrodes respectively constitute anode and cathode of the fuel cell. An independent claim is also included for a thin film fuel cell.
