An optical device displaying an image of a blind spot includes a blind spot-side outward mirror disposed on a blind spot-side of a line of sight with respect to an obstacle; a blind spot-side inward mirror disposed to face the blind spot-side outward minor; an eye point-side inward mirror disposed on an eye point-side of the line of sight with respect to the obstacle; and an eye point-side outward minor disposed to face the eye point-side inward mirror. Each of the blind spot-side inward mirror and the eye point-side inward mirror has a plurality of reflection surfaces, and the reflection surfaces are arranged in parallel with each other and arranged at positions where the reflection surfaces partially overlap with each other.

Embodiments of the present anhydrous fuel cell electrodes comprise an anhydrous catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer, wherein the anhydrous catalyst layer comprises at least one catalyst, about 5 mg/cmto about 100 mg/cmof phosphoric acid added as a catalyzing reagent during formation of the catalyst layer, and a binder comprising at least one triazole modified polymer, wherein the triazole modified polymer comprises a polysiloxane backbone and a triazole substituent.

Fuel cell electrodes with triazole modified polymers and membrane electrode assemblies incorporating same

Embodiments of the present inventions are directed to fuel cell electrodes in membrane electrode assemblies, and methods of making same wherein the fuel cell electrodes comprise a catalyst layer and a gas diffusion layer. The catalyst layer comprises at least one catalyst, phosphoric acid and a binder comprising at least one triazole modified polymer.

A proton conducting polymer is formed by the copolymerization of a plurality of compounds, including a silicon compound comprising an organic chain, and a compound including at least one acid group. The polymer comprises a hybrid organic-inorganic matrix having acid groups linked through a linking group. The linking group may include one or more electron withdrawing groups. The electron withdrawing group may be a halogen.
