Abstract:
A method of producing an electrochemical fuel cell device with one or more electrodes containing one or more electrocatalysts. The method involves the steps of, first, affixing a semi-permeable membrane with inhomogeneous conduction pathways to a conducting surface of a first electrode in a predetermined configuration to form a first electrode assembly. This assembly is then immersed in an electrolyte containing at least one electrochemical precursor with for forming an active electrocatalyst on the conducting surface of the first electrode when a potential is applied to the first electrode. The same process can occur with a second electrode assembly which can be joined to the first electrode assembly before or after the electrocatalyst deposition.

Claim (Index 2):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises the steps of:\n affixing a semi-permeable membrane with inhomogeneous conduction pathways to a conducting surface of a second electrode in a predetermined configuration to form a second electrode assembly; immersing the second electrode assembly in an electrolyte containing at least one electrochemical precursor with corresponding precursor ions suitable for forming an active electrocatalyst on the conducting surface of the second electrode; and electrochemically depositing an electrocatalyst on the conducting surface of the second electrode, through an electrochemical reduction reaction, by applying a potential to the second electrode to attract and guide precursor ions through the inhomogeneous conduction pathways in the semi-permeable membrane to the conducting surface of the second electrode.
