GAS RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ELECTRODE FILM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18308724 titled 'GAS RECOVERY SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ELECTRODE FILM
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a gas recovery system that is designed to recover a specific gas from a mixture of gases.
- The system includes electrochemical cells and a passage for the gas to flow between the cells.
- The electrochemical cell has a working electrode with an adsorbent, and a counter electrode that exchanges electrons with the working electrode.
- When a voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode, electron donation occurs from the counter electrode to the working electrode, causing the adsorbent to adsorb the target gas.
- Either the working electrode or the counter electrode includes an electrode film.
- The electrode film has smaller regions within it, and there is a part of the film that reduces warpage of the electrode film located next to these regions.
Original Abstract Submitted
A gas recovery system configured to recover a recovery target gas from a gas mixture includes electrochemical cells and a gas passage between the electrochemical cells. The electrochemical cell has a working electrode including an adsorbent, and a counter electrode configured to exchange electrons with the working electrode. Electron donation occurs from the counter electrode to the working electrode when a voltage is applied between the working electrode and the counter electrode, such that the adsorbent adsorbs the recovery target gas along with the electron donation. At least one of the working electrode or the counter electrode includes an electrode film. The electrode film includes regions, each of which having a size smaller than a size of the electrochemical cell, and a reducing part that reduces warpage of the electrode film is located adjacent to the regions.
