摘要: Electrochemical reactors with electrodes that have variable porosity across the electrode and associated methods are described. The electrodes are designed and micro-architected to have variable porosity and 3D flow. One example method of selecting porosities in an electrochemical reactor includes dividing an electrode of the electrochemical reactor into a plurality of unit cells and determining a plurality of cell-specific porosities for the plurality of unit cells as a function of a location for each of the plurality of unit cells. The cell-specific porosities are configured based on a rod diameter of each unit cell's internal structure relative to each unit cell's cell length, and each location in the electrode provides a selected fluid flow property and a selected conductive property to meet one or more performance metrics.

摘要: Disclosed are electrochemical reactors with electrodes that have variable porosity across the electrode. The electrodes are designed and micro-architected to have variable porosity and 3D flow. In one aspect, an electrochemical cell apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes an electrochemical vessel and an electrochemical fluid contained in the electrochemical vessel. The apparatus further includes a porous electrode submerged in the electrochemical fluid in the electrochemical vessel, the porous electrode having different porosities in different areas of the porous electrode. The different porosities inhibit electrochemical fluid flow and increase electrical conductivity in first areas of the porous electrode with decreased porosity compared to second areas, and enable increased electrochemical fluid flow and decrease electrical conductivity in the second areas of the porous electrode with increased porosity compared to the first areas.

摘要: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a crosslinked film and a hydrocarbon-based proton conducting solid electrolyte having a proton conductivity equal to that of a perfluorosulfonate ion exchange polymer. Disclosed as a means for solving this problem is a proton conducting polymer electrolyte which is composed of a sulfonated polyphenyl compound having a plurality of repeating units, and wherein two or more (for example, four or six) sulfonic groups are introduced into one repeating unit on average. The sulfonated polyphenyl compound may be a polymer or copolymer having a skeleton structure selected from among a polyaryl sulfide, a polyaryl ether, a polyarylsulfone, a polyarylketone and a polyaryl hexafluoroisopropylidene. A proton conducting solid polymer electrolyte membrane is able to be produced by shaping this proton conducting polymer electrolyte into a film form and crosslinking this proton conducting polymer electrolyte via sulfonic groups.
