Abstract: Disclosed is an electrochemical reaction cell enhancing a reduction reaction. The electrochemical reaction cell enhancing a reduction reaction comprises: a membrane electrode assembly including a polymer electrolytic membrane, a cathode formed by sequentially stacking a first gas diffusion layer and a first catalyst layer on one surface of the electrolytic membrane, and an anode formed by sequentially stacking a second catalyst layer and a second gas diffusion layer on the other surface of the electrolytic membrane; a first distribution plate stacked on the first catalyst layer to supply a reaction gas and a cathode electrolytic solution dissolved with the reaction gas to the first catalyst layer along separate channels; and a second distribution plate stacked on the second gas diffusion layer to supply an anode electrolytic solution to the second gas diffusion layer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an IrO2 electrodeposited porous titanium composite layer of a polymer electrolyte membrane water electrolysis apparatus serving as both a diffusion layer and an oxygen electrode, the apparatus including: a porous titanium (Ti) layer; and an electrodeposited iridium oxide (IrO2) layer on the porous Ti layer. The IrO2 layer may be uniformly deposited on a porous Ti layer through an electrolysis process, and the electrodeposited IrO2 layer may play multiple roles as not only a catalyst layer toward oxygen evolution reaction (OER) on the surface of the Ti layer, but also a corrosion-protection layer which prevents an inner Ti layer from corrosion.
