Catalyst layer is the key component of membrane electrode assembly (MEA), which is the heart of polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Catalyst layer can provide sites for the electrochemical reaction, and channels for proton, electron, gas and water. Therefore it affects the cost and properties of PEMFC. This paper reviews recent progress of catalyst layer structure. The important effects of the content of Nafion, the characteristics of solvent and additive on the structures and performances of MEA are introduced. In addition, the progress of hot-press parameters and coating methods of the catalyst layers during the preparation of MEA are also discussed. Contents 1 Introduction
2 Catalyst layer structure research
2.1 The micro porosity of catalyst layer
2.2 The effects of Nafion percentage on catalyst layer
2.3 The effects of solvent on catalyst layer
2.4 The effects of additives on catalyst layer
2.5 Coating methods and hot-pressing parameters
3 Conclusion and outlook
Key words: polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), membrane electrode assembly (MEA), catalyst layer structure
