Abstract

A fuel cell includes a separator plate having first and second flow channels extending therethrough contiguously with an electrode and respectively in flow communication with the cell electrolyte and in flow isolation with respect to such electrolyte. In fuel cell system arrangement, the diverse type channels are suplied in common with process gas for thermal control purposes. The separator plate is readily formed by corrugation of integral sheet material.

Molten carbonate fuel cell separator

Patent Nickols, R C

A gaseous fuel cell is described for use in a stacked array of such gaseous cells, the gaseous fuel cell comprising: a first electrode adapted to allow a first gas to flow therethrough and having a first catalyst in contact therewith: a second electrode adapted to allow a second gas to flow therethrough and having a second catalyst in contact therewith; an electrolyte positioned between the first and second electrodes and in contact with the first and second catalysts; a substantially flat, planar plate positioned in contact with a respective catalyst of one of the electrodes and having a pluralitymore »« less
Fuel cell plates with skewed process channels for uniform distribution of stack compression load

Patent Granata, Jr., Samuel J. ; Woodle, Boyd M

An electrochemical fuel cell includes an anode electrode, a cathode electrode, an electrolyte matrix sandwiched between electrodes, and a pair of plates above and below the electrodes. The plate above the electrodes has a lower surface with a first group of process gas flow channels formed thereon and the plate below the electrodes has an upper surface with a second group of process gas flow channels formed thereon. The channels of each group extend generally parallel to one another. The improvement comprises the process gas flow channels on the lower surface of the plate above the anode electrode and themore »« less

Method and apparatus for capacitive deionization and electrochemical purification and regeneration of electrodes

Patent Farmer, J C

An electrically regenerable electrochemical cell for capacitive deionization and electrochemical purification and regeneration of electrodes includes two end plates, one at each end of the cell. Two end electrodes are arranged one at each end of the cell, adjacent to the end plates. An insulator layer is interposed between each end plate and the adjacent end electrode. Each end electrode includes a single sheet of conductive material having a high specific surface area and sorption capacity. In one embodiment, the sheet of conductive material is formed of carbon aerogel composite. The cell further includes a plurality of generally identical double-sidedmore »« less
