Catalytic activity for oxygen-ion production in a phosphoric acid fuel cell was observed with electrodes prepared with nitrogen ion-implanted carbon blacks. The electrodes were prepared without the addition of any metals. Comparisons to electrodes prepared with metal-ion implants is presented. Methods of preparation and electrochemical evaluation methods are discussed.
