            A catalyst-containing ink has been formulated that enables highly reproducible formation of quality catalytic electrodes (both anodes and cathodes), catalyst-coated membranes (CCMs), and membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) for PEM fuel cell applications. This “magic” ink composition provides an exceptionally high catalyst utilization rate, excellent electron and proton transport characteristics, reduced Ohmic loss, and, hence, outstanding fuel cell current-voltage responses.
