Abstract
Catalyst sputtering-based methods of facilitating forming a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) catalyst layer are provided. The methods include forming a catalyst ink, including obtaining a powder including a plurality of support particles, and depositing, via sputtering, a catalyst onto the plurality of support particles to form a supported catalyst for the catalyst ink. Further, the method includes providing the catalyst ink with the supported catalyst on a membrane to facilitate forming the catalyst layer of the membrane electrode assembly.
