    摘要: An apparatus is provided that relates to an electrochemical cell assembly. The apparatus is capable of controlling water loss from a fuel cell, at least in part by separating gas and liquid fluid flows. A variety of flow designs are provided that separate liquid electrolyte flow from reagent gas flow. Some flow designs may be suitable for one or more of fuel cells, rechargeable fuel cells, and batteries such as metal hydride batteries. Furthermore, some embodiments may include a single electrochemical cell, or plurality of cells arranged in parallel or in series. Some embodiments may also relate to methods of mitigating water loss from an electrochemical cell assembly.

    摘要: An apparatus including a housing having walls is provided. The walls of the housing each have inner surfaces and outer surfaces. The walls may include apertures extending from the inner surface to the outer surface. The inner surfaces of the walls define a volume. The volume includes an electrode. The volume further includes a water-controlling separator disposed between the inner surface of the housing and the electrode. The water-controlling separator can block a flow of liquid from the electrode through the apertures to the ambient environment while allowing oxidant to flow from the ambient environment through the apertures to the electrode.

    摘要: An apparatus for controlling humidity in a fuel cell is provided. The apparatus can include a housing having an interior surface defining a volume and containing at least one fuel cell disposed within the volume. The apparatus may also include a plurality of electrodes disposed within the volume. The apparatus can include an aperture defined by the housing through which at least one air gas stream can be in fluid communication with at least one of the plurality of electrodes. The apparatus can include a humidity-controlling component, wherein the humidity-controlling component is in fluid communication with the air gas stream prior to the air gas stream contacting the at least one of the plurality of electrodes, and humidity-controlling component being capable of controlling a relative humidity of the air gas stream. A method for controlling humidity in a fuel cell is provided.
