    摘要: A bipolar current collector-separator for electrochemical cells consists of a molded aggregate of electro-conductive graphite and a thermoplastic fluoropolymer particles reinforced with carbon fibers to increase the strength and maintain high electrical conductivity. The graphite and the thermoplastic fluoropolymer are combined in weight ratio ranging from 2.5:1 to 16:1. The carbon fibers may constitute from 10 to 80 weight percent of the conductive graphite. The bulk resistivity of such a molded bipolar current collector is less than 4.times.10.sup.-3 ohm inches (.sigma. in.) It has excellent corrosion resistance to a variety of feed stocks such as brine, aqueous HCl, water, etc. and to various electrolysis products, such as caustic, chlorine, hydrogen, etc.This invention relates to a molded, conductive, fiber reinforced, current collecting-separator structure for electrochemical cells and, more particularly, to one utilizing thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin binders for bonding electroconductive particles into a solid, current collecting-separator structure reinforced by carbon or graphite fibers or fiber structures.

    摘要: A unique, current conducting, separator element with controlled anolyte flow distribution is incorporated in an electrolysis cell having anode and cathode electrodes bonded to an ion transporting membrane. The current conducting-fluid distributing separator has a plurality of parallel conductive ribs which contact the anode electrode and also define a plurality of fluid distribution channels through which an anolyte such as water, is brought to the electrode and through which gaseous electrolysis products and the spent anolyte are removed from the anolyte chamber. A pressure dropping flow restrictor is provided in the channel inlets to prevent gases generated at the anode from flowing backward and blocking the anolyte distribution inlet manifold. The pressure dropping element can take the form of a restrictor to reduce the dimension of the channel. Alternatively the separator is molded so that the inlets of the channels have a reduced cross section.

    摘要: A method of making substantially oxide-free metal alloys is described. The alloys are made by a hot alkaline reduction of compounds of at least two metals, such as the halides of the metals dissolved in an aqueous medium containing a reducing agent. The dissolved metal compounds containing a first reducing agent are added to a second reducing agent, in a alkaline medium, and the substantially oxide-free, finely-divided alloy precipitates from solution. The alloy has a unique X-ray diffraction pattern indicating that it is a true alloy with no metal oxides present. In a preferred embodiment, ruthenium and platinum chlorides are dissolved in water containing a dissolved reducing agent. This solution is added to a second reducing agent in an alkaline medium at elevated temperatures, and a finely-divided black precipitate of a true alloy of ruthenium and platinum forms. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows a distorted ruthenium structure having platinum in solid solution. Oxygen evolution catalysis was substantially improved in an electrochemical cell having a catalytic cathode made of this alloy of platinum and ruthenium.

    摘要: A method of making electrodes using a solid polymer electrolyte base member and catalyst is disclosed. Before the catalyst is deposited upon the surface of the solid polymer electrolyte, the surface is treated by a suitable abrading or roughening means which contacts the surface of the solid polymer electrolyte base member in at least two directions. In a preferred mode, the solid polymer electrolyte membrane is abraded with a silicon carbide sheet to provide the desired roughness. The catalyst is deposited upon the roughened or abraded surface and fixed thereto by suitable means, e.g., pressure and/or heat. By this method, substantially reduced loadings of catalysts are possible. Solid polymer electrolyte catalytic electrodes made by this method are superior to prior art electrodes having substantially higher catalytic loadings when used as anodes in water electrolysis.
