Abstract
An electrode structure consisting of two phases of Pt and WOx for use in thin-film fuel cells was designed and fabricated using a cosputtering system with a Pt metal and a tungsten oxide target. The coexistence of a polycrystalline Pt nanosized phase and an amorphous tungsten oxide phase in the electrode layer was confirmed by transmission electron microscopic images and x-ray diffraction data. In addition, compared with a Pt thin-film electrode, the two-phase electrode of Pt and WOx showed excellent performance for the devices because of the improved activity of the Pt metallic phase and the spill-over effect of porous tungsten oxides.
