WATER ELECTROLYSIS SEPARATOR AND ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17942654 titled 'WATER ELECTROLYSIS SEPARATOR AND ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a water electrolysis separator that is used in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to facilitate a reaction. The separator consists of two plate members stacked together, with the first plate member having a reaction part and flow paths, and the second plate member covering the connection channels. A sealing member is used to seal the two plate members together.

  • The water electrolysis separator is designed to facilitate a reaction in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
  • It consists of two plate members stacked together, with the first plate member having a reaction part and flow paths.
  • The second plate member covers the connection channels between the reaction part and the flow paths.
  • A sealing member is used to seal the two plate members together, ensuring a tight and secure fit.

Potential Applications

  • This technology can be used in water electrolysis systems for hydrogen production.
  • It can also be applied in fuel cells for energy generation.

Problems Solved

  • The water electrolysis separator solves the problem of efficiently separating the reactants and products in a water electrolysis reaction.
  • It provides a secure and tight seal between the plate members, preventing any leakage or loss of reactants.

Benefits

  • The separator allows for a more efficient and controlled reaction in the membrane electrode assembly.
  • It ensures a secure and leak-proof connection between the plate members, improving the overall performance and reliability of the system.
  • The design of the separator allows for easy assembly and disassembly, making maintenance and replacement of components easier.


Original Abstract Submitted

A water electrolysis separator includes a first plate member having a reaction part configured to define a reaction region in which a reaction is produce by a membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The first plate member has first manifold flow paths spaced apart from the reaction part and first channel patterns extending from edges of the first manifold flow paths and defining first connection channels configured to connect the reaction part and the first manifold flow paths. The separator includes a second plate member stacked on the first plate member, configured to cover the first connection channels, and including a through portion corresponding to the reaction part and second manifold flow paths corresponding to the first manifold flow paths. The separator includes a sealing member configured to seal a portion between the first plate member and the second plate member.
