Abstract: A compression apparatus includes at least one compression unit, an anode end plate provided on an anode separator, a cathode end plate provided on a cathode separator, and a plate-like member. The compression apparatus causes, by using the voltage applier to apply a voltage, protons taken out from an anode fluid that is supplied to the anode to move to the cathode via the electrolyte membrane and generates compressed hydrogen. The plate-like member is provided with a recess in which to store the compressed hydrogen and a groove portion that surrounds an outer periphery of the recess. The groove portion is provided with a seal material and a ring material that is adjacent to an outer edge of the seal material and that surrounds the seal material. An outer peripheral surface of the groove portion and an outer peripheral surface of the ring material are both provided with gradients so as to become wider toward an opening of the groove portion.

Abstract: A compression apparatus includes a stack of electrochemical cells each including an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte membrane interposed therebetween, a pair of insulating plates disposed at respective ends of the stack in a stacking direction, a pair of end plates disposed on outside surfaces of the respective insulating plates, and a voltage applicator that applies a voltage between the anode and the cathode. The end plate having the cathode gas channel includes a first region that includes an outer peripheral surface of the cathode gas channel and is composed of a first steel material and a second region other than the first region which is composed of a second steel material. The first steel material has higher hydrogen embrittlement resistance than the second steel material, and the second steel material has higher stiffness than the first steel material.

Abstract: An electrochemical cell for a hydrogen pump includes an electrolyte membrane, an anode catalyst layer disposed on a first main surface of the electrolyte membrane, a cathode catalyst layer disposed on a second main surface of the electrolyte membrane, an anode gas diffusion layer disposed on the anode catalyst layer, and a cathode gas diffusion layer disposed on the cathode catalyst layer. When a voltage is applied between the anode catalyst layer and the cathode catalyst layer, the cathode gas diffusion layer is exposed to a hydrogen-containing gas at a pressure higher than that at the anode gas diffusion layer. A thickness of the anode gas diffusion layer is greater than or equal to a thickness of the cathode gas diffusion layer.
