Abstract

An electrode for a fuel cell is disclosed. More particularly, the electrode includes a porous substrate and nitrogen-doped graphene included in the substrate. A method for making the electrode is also disclosed. The method involves providing a porous substrate and forming nitrogen-doped graphene in the substrate.

Claims (12)

1 . A fuel cell electrode, comprising:

a substrate having a plurality of pores, wherein the pores are disposed within the substrate; and

nitrogen-doped graphene disposed within at least one pores.

2 . (canceled)

3 . The electrode of claim 2 , further comprising graphite disposed on a first surface of the substrate.

4 . The electrode of claim 3 , wherein said nitrogen-doped graphene is uniformly dispersed in said pores of the substrate.

5 .- 9 . (canceled)

10 .- 21 . (canceled)

22 .- 27 . (canceled)

28 . The fuel cell electrode of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is formed of silicon carbide.

29 . The fuel cell electrode of claim 1 , wherein the nitrogen-doped graphene is formed in a layer and is in contact with an inside of each of the at least one pores.

30 . The fuel cell electrode of claim 1 , wherein the pores are interconnected to each other so that water or elemental oxygen is permeable through the substrate.
