{"product_id":"02-ptc-paper-electrode","title":"0.2 mg\/cm² PtC 20% Carbon Paper GDE","description":"\u003cp\u003eA low-cost electrode utilizing a carbon fiber paper substrate and a 20% Platinum on Vulcan Carbon support catalyst. This low loading is designed for cost-sensitive applications and is suitable for electrochemical systems needing low amounts of Platinum to support the reaction. This electrode is perfect for Hydrogen\/Air Fuel Cell applications where the extra cost of the higher loading GDE may not be justified. The Gas Diffusion Layer (GDL) used is Sigracet 22 BB, which is 215 microns thick. Made with XT Catalysts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes a Nafion Post Coat for improved water management and adhesion to the membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther GDL materials are also available by \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/request-a-quote?category=GDE\"\u003ecustom request\u003c\/a\u003e, as are custom sizes and loadings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScientific Literature Relevant to This Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn article by \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.apcatb.2026.126713\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuentin Meyer and his colleagues (through a collaboration between University of South Wales, Newcastle University, and Paul Scherrer Institute) entitled \"Lateral bypass flow fields for\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1016\/j.apcatb.2026.126713\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ehigh-performance flood-free hydrogen fuel cells\"\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e describes the use of 0.2 mg\/cm² 20% Platinum on Vulcan - Carbon Paper Electrode in the lateral bypass concept for the PEMFC graphite bipolar plates and achieving excellent performance.
