A novel membrane-electrode-assembly (MEA) structure for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFC) has been developed. The MEA is based on an unique self assembly of charged Pt nanopartilces onto the sulfonic acid function group, SO3-, at the Nafion membrane surface. The self assembly technology has spec...
