Electrolytic cell and water supply device - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025775 titled 'Electrolytic cell and water supply device
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an electrolytic cell used for electrolyzing a liquid. The cell includes an electrolysis chamber where the liquid is supplied, a solid polymer membrane that defines at least a portion of the outer edge of the chamber, a first electrode in contact with one surface of the membrane inside the chamber, and a second electrode in contact with a different surface of the membrane outside the chamber.
- The electrolytic cell is designed for electrolyzing a liquid.
- It includes an electrolysis chamber where the liquid is supplied.
- The chamber is defined by a solid polymer membrane.
- A first electrode is in contact with one surface of the membrane inside the chamber.
- A second electrode is in contact with a different surface of the membrane outside the chamber.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Water electrolysis for hydrogen production.
- Electrolysis of brine for chlorine and sodium hydroxide production.
- Electrolysis of wastewater for pollutant removal.
- Electrolysis of organic compounds for synthesis of chemicals.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Efficient and controlled electrolysis of liquids.
- Separation of the anode and cathode compartments using a solid polymer membrane.
- Prevention of mixing and cross-contamination of reactants and products.
Benefits of this technology:
- Higher efficiency and selectivity in electrolysis processes.
- Improved safety by preventing mixing of reactants.
- Scalable and adaptable design for various electrolysis applications.
- Potential for integration with renewable energy sources for sustainable production.
Original Abstract Submitted
an electrolytic cell for electrolyzing a liquid, comprises an electrolysis chamber to which the liquid is supplied, a solid polymer membrane defining at least a portion of an outer edge of the electrolysis chamber, a first electrode in contact with a first surface of the solid polymer membrane in the electrolysis chamber, and a second electrode in contact with a second surface different from the first surface of the solid polymer membrane outside the electrolysis chamber.
