METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ELECTRICITY GENERATING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17983763 titled 'METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ELECTRICITY GENERATING ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method of manufacturing an electricity generating assembly that includes a membrane electrode assembly and gas diffusion layers. The method involves applying coupling agents on the surfaces of the gas diffusion layers to modify them, and then applying a coupling agent-friendly adhesive to form adhesion layers on the surfaces of the gas diffusion layers. The gas diffusion layers are then stacked on the surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly, causing the adhesion layers to come into contact with the first and second surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly.
- The method involves modifying the surfaces of gas diffusion layers using coupling agents.
- A coupling agent-friendly adhesive is applied to form adhesion layers on the modified surfaces of the gas diffusion layers.
- The gas diffusion layers are stacked on the membrane electrode assembly, creating contact between the adhesion layers and the surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly.
Potential Applications
- This method can be used in the manufacturing of electricity generating assemblies, such as fuel cells or batteries.
Problems Solved
- The method solves the problem of securely attaching gas diffusion layers to a membrane electrode assembly in an electricity generating assembly.
Benefits
- The use of coupling agents and adhesion layers improves the adhesion between the gas diffusion layers and the membrane electrode assembly.
- This method provides a reliable and efficient way to manufacture electricity generating assemblies.
Original Abstract Submitted
A membrane electrode assembly and a method of manufacturing an electricity generating assembly include a pair of gas diffusion layers disposed on both surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly. Coupling agents are applied on surfaces of the gas diffusion layers, modifying surfaces of the gas diffusion layers. A coupling agent-friendly adhesive is applied to the surfaces of the gas diffusion layers to which the coupling agents are applied, forming adhesion layers on surfaces of the gas diffusion layers. The gas diffusion layers are stacked on the surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly, causing the adhesion layers to come into contact with the first and second surfaces of the membrane electrode assembly.
