Abstract

An improved electrocatalytic gas diffusion electrode comprising an open pore carbon cloth carrying on one side a first uniform mixture of noble-metal-catalyzed carbon and a hydrophobic binder adhered within the cloth pores and to the yarns of the cloth to a depth less than the thickness of the cloth, and a second uniform mixture of non-catalytic carbon and a hydrophobic binder adhered to the remaining open pore portion on the other side of said cloth; and method of preparation.
