A double-layer Nafion-based membrane consisting of a pure Nafion layer and an ordered dispersed Pt particles layer was investigated. The Pt particles were dispersed under the anode graphite ribs, which provide the sites for the recombination of the permeating H2H2 and O2O2 into water. The electrochemical performances of the ordered Pt particles dispersed membrane in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) were studied and compared with those of the common Pt particles dispersed membrane and the pure Nafion membrane. The results indicate that the ordered Pt dispersed membrane reduces the amount of Pt dosage than the common Pt dispersed membrane and improves the performance of PEMFC operated under dry conditions than the pure Nafion membrane as well.
