    摘要: The present invention is directed to addressing performance issues attributable to membrane electrode assemblies, and the components thereof, in electrochemical conversion cells. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a device comprising at least one electrochemical conversion cell is provided. The cell is configured to convert first and second reactants to electrical energy and comprises a membrane electrode assembly and at least one membrane reinforcement layer. The combination of elastic modulus and thickness of the reinforcement layer and the bond between the reinforcement layer and the membrane electrode assembly are sufficient to enhance the structural integrity of the membrane electrode assembly beyond the operational degradation threshold of the assembly.

    摘要: A diffusion media is provided for implementation with a PEM fuel cell. The diffusion media is a permeable sheet that is rigid along a transverse axis, flexible along a lateral axis and has a substantially incompressible thickness. The diffusion media is able to be mass produced in large sheets and rolled along the lateral axis for transport and storage. The rigidity of the transverse axis is provided by either inclusion of larger fibers or metallic strips aligned in the transverse direction and prevents tenting of the diffusion media into flow channels of the PEM fuel cell. The diffusion media is water and gas permeable and electrically conductive.
