    摘要: A redox flow battery may include: a membrane interposed between a first electrode positioned at a first side of the membrane and a second electrode positioned at a second side of the membrane opposite to the first side; a first flow field plate comprising a plurality of positive flow field ribs, each of the plurality of positive flow field ribs contacting the first electrode at first supporting regions on the first side; and the second electrode, including an electrode spacer positioned between the membrane and a second flow field plate, the electrode spacer comprising a plurality of main ribs, each of the plurality of main ribs contacting the second flow field plate at second supporting regions on the second side, each of the second supporting regions aligned opposite to one of the plurality of first supporting regions. As such, a current density distribution at a plating surface may be reduced.

    摘要: The present invention provides a substrate film that has a catalyst coating liquid having good coating properties when producing a membrane electrode assembly, has a catalyst layer and support film having good release properties after the catalyst layer is transferred to an electrolyte membrane using a catalyst transfer sheet, and does not contaminate the catalyst layer. Provided is a substrate film for a catalyst transfer sheet, said substrate film being formed by introducing fluorine atoms to at least one surface of a base film formed from one or more types of polymers selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, polyphenylene sulfide, polysulfones, polyether ketone, polyether ether ketone, polyimides, polyetherimide, polyamides, polyamide-imides, polybenzimidazoles, polycarbonates, polyarylates, and polyvinyl chloride, wherein the ratio, measured by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, of the number of fluorine atoms/the number of carbon atoms in the surface to which the fluorine atoms are introduced, i.e. the modified surface, is 0.02-1.9, inclusive.
