MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, LAMINATING METHOD, ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, STACK, AND ELECTROLYZER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18462070 titled 'MEMBRANE ELECTRODE ASSEMBLY, LAMINATING METHOD, ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL, STACK, AND ELECTROLYZER
Simplified Explanation
The membrane electrode assembly described in the abstract consists of a first electrode, a second electrode, an electrolyte membrane placed between the electrodes, a first seal around the first electrode, and a second seal around the second electrode.
- The first electrode is housed in a first opening within the first seal, which is in contact with the electrolyte membrane.
- The second electrode is housed in a second opening within the second seal, which is also in contact with the electrolyte membrane.
Potential Applications
The membrane electrode assembly can be used in fuel cells, electrolyzers, and other electrochemical devices where efficient energy conversion is required.
Problems Solved
This technology helps to improve the performance and durability of electrochemical devices by providing a reliable seal around the electrodes, preventing leakage and ensuring proper functioning.
Benefits
- Enhanced efficiency in energy conversion processes - Increased durability and reliability of electrochemical devices - Improved overall performance of fuel cells and electrolyzers
Potential Commercial Applications
