Abstract
Oxygen electrodes, production methods and reversible, alkaline or anion exchange membrane (AEM) electrochemical devices are provided. The oxygen electrodes are operable in the reversible devices both as cathodes of a fuel cell supporting an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), and as anodes of an electrolyzer supporting an oxygen evolution reaction (OER). The oxygen electrodes comprise a substrate layer which may be a porous transport layer (PTL), possibly coated and/or hydrophobized, or a membrane; and a blend of catalysts which is deposited on the substrate layer to form a catalyst layer, and includes ORR catalyst (e.g., a platinum group metal), OER catalyst (e.g., nickel-based particles), and possibly binders such as ionomers, PTFE or other polymers that are resistant in alkaline environment, but with the catalyst layer and the substrate layer being devoid of elemental carbon.
