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 with flow paths and channels that connect the reaction region and the manifold flow paths. A sealing member is used to seal the space between the two plate members.

  • The water electrolysis separator is designed to create a reaction region for a membrane electrode assembly (MEA).
  • It consists of two plate members stacked on top of each other.
  • The first plate member has flow paths and channels that connect the reaction region and the manifold flow paths.
  • The second plate member covers the channels and has corresponding manifold flow paths.
  • A sealing member is used to seal the space between the two plate members.

Potential Applications

  • Water electrolysis systems for hydrogen production.
  • Fuel cell systems for clean energy generation.
  • Electrochemical processes for industrial applications.

Problems Solved

  • Provides a structure for efficient water electrolysis reactions.
  • Ensures proper flow of reactants and products in the membrane electrode assembly.
  • Prevents leakage and ensures a tight seal between the plate members.

Benefits

  • Improved efficiency and performance of water electrolysis systems.
  • Enhanced reliability and durability of fuel cell systems.
  • Increased productivity and cost-effectiveness in industrial electrochemical processes.


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.
