Claim:
1. A metal electrode assembly for a fuel cell, the metal electrode assembly comprising: a cathode catalyst layer; an anode catalyst layer, the cathode catalyst layer or the anode catalyst layer each independently including a catalyst composition wherein at least one of the cathode catalyst layer or the anode catalyst layer includes a first polymer and polyphenylene sulfide-containing structures that are coated with an electrically conductive layer, the polyphenylene sulfide-containing structures having the following formula: wherein PG is a protogenic group; and n is a number from about 20 to about 500 on average; and an ion-conducting membrane disposed between the cathode catalyst layer and the anode catalyst layer, wherein the polyphenylene sulfide-containing structures include a component selected from the group consisting of fibers, beads, spheres, and oblong shapes.
