摘要： An improved block paving sand comprising kiln dried sand mixed with a water-soluble polymer. The block paving sand is filled into gaps between blocks and then water is applied thereto. Upon contact with the water, the polymer coats the sand and then sets hard, thereby stabilising the block paving.

摘要： To provide a method of manufacturing a battery capable of enhancing productivity and preventing deterioration of the battery performance. After attaching a positive electrode terminal to a belt-shaped electrode, electrolyte layers are formed. This can decrease the number of manufacturing processes after forming electrolyte layers, which effectively prevents that solvents in the electrolyte evaporates or the electrolyte layers are absorbed the water. Thereby, manufacturing yields of the battery can be enhanced, Additionally, a battery excellent in discharge capabilities and stable in voltage can be attained.

摘要： An electrochemical battery cell in accordance with the invention has a high electrode interfacial surface area to improve high rate discharge capacity, and the shapes of the electrodes facilitate the manufacture of cells of high quality and reliability at high speeds suitable for large scale production. The interfacial surfaces of the solid body electrodes have radially extending lobes that increase the interfacial surface area. The lobes do not have sharp corners, and the concave areas formed between the lobes are wide open, to facilitate assembly of the separator and insertion of the other electrode into the concave areas without leaving voids between the separator and either electrode.

摘要： An improved hydrogen storage medium in the form of a fabric (124, 504, 704) comprises a yarn (300, 400) that includes carbon nanofibers or carbon nanotubes (302, 404) and elastomeric fibers (304, 402). The fabric (124, 504, 704) is a volume efficient arrangement of the carbon nanofibers or carbon nanotubes (302, 404) and is consequently characterized as a high density energy storage medium. According to a preferred embodiment a hydrogen storage device (100) comprises a flexible container (104) that includes the fabric (124). The flexibility of the container (104) in combination with the flexibility of the fabric (124) allows the hydrogen storage device 100 to be accommodated in irregularly shaped spaces.

摘要： The PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) type basic fuel cell element has a high efficiency, when only the protons migrate towards the cathode, excluding any other species that could react with the cathode. It is composed mainly of a silicon substrate (25) crossed by pipes (26), terminating on the bottom of a dish. The cathode (20) is deposited on the bottom of this dish, covered by a first layer of electrolyte (23). An internal part (32) of the anode is embedded between two layers (23) of electrolyte, while an external part (31) is placed on the upper part of it. The internal part (32) is preferably a grid or a foam such that fuel migrating towards the cathode can be consumed and protons can pass through.

摘要： The invention is a fuel cell (20) having a corrosion resistant and protected cathode catalyst layer (24). The cathode catalyst layer (24) includes a platinum oxygen reduction catalyst and an oxygen evolution catalyst selected from the group consisting of catalysts that are more active than platinum for oxygen evolution. The oxygen evolution catalyst may be uniformly applied within the cathode catalyst layer, or non-uniformly applied to identified high corrosion areas (82) (84) of the cathode catalyst layer (24). The cathode catalyst layer (24) may include heat-treated carbon support material, and/or a heat-treated carbon black within a diffusion layer (40) supporting the cathode catalyst layer (24). The fuel cell (20) may also include an anode catalyst layer (22) having a poor oxygen reduction catalyst having a greater oxygen reduction over potential than platinum.

摘要： The invention is a hydrogen passivation shut down system for a fuel cell power plant (10). An anode flow path (24) is in fluid communication with an anode catalyst (14) for directing hydrogen fuel to flow adjacent to the anode catalyst (14), and a cathode flow path (38) is in fluid communication with a cathode catalyst (16) for directing an oxidant to flow adjacent to the cathode catalyst (16) of a fuel cell (12). Hydrogen fuel is permitted to transfer between the anode flow path (24) and the cathode flow path (38). A hydrogen reservoir (66) is secured in fluid communication with the anode flow path (24) for receiving and storing hydrogen during fuel cell (12) operation, and for releasing the hydrogen into fuel cell (12) whenever the fuel cell (12) is shut down.

摘要： Described herein is a fuel processor that produces hydrogen from a fuel source. The fuel processor comprises a reformer and burner. The reformer includes a catalyst that facilitates the production of hydrogen from the fuel source. Voluminous reformer chamber designs are provided that increase the amount of catalyst that can be used in a reformer and increase hydrogen output for a given fuel processor size. The burner provides heat to the reformer. One or more burners may be configured to surround a reformer on multiple sides to increase thermal transfer to the reformer. Dewars are also described that increase thermal management of a fuel processor and increase burner efficiency. A dewar includes one or more dewar chambers that receive inlet air before a burner receives the air. The dewar is arranged such that air passing through the dewar chamber intercepts heat generated in the burner before the heat escapes the fuel processor.

摘要： An electrochemical cell including a cell enclosure, a fill tube, a ball, a closing button, an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte. The cell enclosure defines an internal volume and includes a cover forming a fillport through hole. The fill tube is separately formed, and defines a leading section, a trailing section, and a passageway. The leading section is secured within the fillport through hole. The ball is sealingly secured within the passageway. The closing button is also separately formed, and is sealingly secured within the fillport through hole adjacent the leading section of the fill tube. The anode, cathode, and electrolyte are maintained within the internal volume. By configuring the fill tube such that the leading section thereof is secured within the fillport through hole, an overall extension of the fill tube relative to the internal volume is greatly reduced, thereby maximizing a volumetric efficiency.
