FUEL CELL HAVING WATER BLISTER GENERATION PREVENTION STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17972097 titled 'FUEL CELL HAVING WATER BLISTER GENERATION PREVENTION STRUCTURE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a fuel cell with a structure to prevent the formation of water blisters. This is achieved by using an adhesive with a water discharge passage to bond the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket of the fuel cell. The water collected between the distal end of the electrolyte membrane and the sub-gasket, or between the distal ends of the cathode and anode and the sub-gasket, can be discharged to the cathode or anode through the water discharge passage. This prevents the formation of water blisters between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket.
- The fuel cell uses an adhesive with a water discharge passage to bond the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket.
- Water collected between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket can be discharged through the water discharge passage.
- This prevents the formation of water blisters in the fuel cell.
Potential Applications
- Fuel cell technology
- Renewable energy systems
- Electric vehicles
Problems Solved
- Prevention of water blister formation in fuel cells
- Improved efficiency and performance of fuel cells
- Enhanced durability and lifespan of fuel cell systems
Benefits
- Increased reliability and stability of fuel cells
- Improved water management in fuel cell systems
- Extended lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements for fuel cell systems
Original Abstract Submitted
A fuel cell having a water blister generation prevention structure, which may bond between a membrane-electrode assembly and a sub-gasket of a fuel cell by an adhesive having a water discharge passage so that the water collected at a portion between a distal end of an electrolyte membrane and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive or a portion between distal ends of a cathode and an anode and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive may be discharged to the cathode or the anode through a water discharge passage, thereby easily preventing water blister from being generated at a portion between the membrane-electrode assembly and the sub-gasket bonded by the adhesive.
