ELECTROLYSIS DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240318327 titled 'ELECTROLYSIS DEVICE
Simplified Explanation:
The electrolysis device described in the abstract consists of an electrolysis cell with a porous cathode, a diaphragm, and an anode. It also includes supply parts for gas and electrolysis solution.
- The electrolysis cell has a cathode flow path and an anode flow path for gas and electrolysis solution, respectively.
- The cathode flow path is divided into two areas: one with a continuous gas flow path and the other with an interrupted gas flow path.
- The first supply part provides the cathode flow path with a gas containing a substance to be reduced, while the second supply part supplies the anode flow path with an electrolysis solution.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Use of a porous cathode and diaphragm in the electrolysis cell.
- Separation of gas flow path into continuous and interrupted structures.
- Supply parts for gas and electrolysis solution to the respective flow paths.
