摘要： A fuel cell module includes fuel cells and an air supply system. The fuel cells are arranged in a cell stack. The air supply system is configured to supply air into an air distribution space for operating or cooling the fuel cells. The fuel cells are stacked in an axial direction. The air supply system is configured such that cooling results due to the air supplied to the fuel cells not being of uniform strength in the axial direction. The air supply system is arranged completely radially outside the cell stack.

摘要： A zinc-air secondary battery includes an air positive electrode part, a separator, and a zinc gel negative electrode part in a case, provided with an electrolyte flow part for inducing electrolyte to flow inside the zinc gel negative electrode part. The oxygen discharging efficiency that remains in the zinc gel negative electrode part and is not smoothly discharged to the outside can be improved, and thus charging performance of the zinc-air secondary battery can be improved.

摘要： The present disclosure relates to lead-acid batteries and the manufacture of lead-acid batteries containing acid pump devices to promote the circulation of electrolyte within the battery and/or battery cells to reduce acid stratification and improve battery performance. In various embodiments, battery cell components are assembled within an acid pump assembly that encloses the battery cell components on at least the bottom and ends. In various embodiments, at least a portion of the acid pumps may be integrally molded with or secured to various parts of the battery housing including the cover, side walls, and cell walls. In various embodiments; space for the acid pumps is created by varying the shape of the battery housing (e.g., the side walls or cell walls) and/or by modifying the shape, size, and or position of one or more of the battery electrodes or separators.

摘要： A redox flow battery having reduced internal resistance is provided. The redox flow battery includes a membrane, a bipolar plate, an electrode disposed between the membrane and the bipolar plate, an inlet port for supplying an electrolyte to the electrode, and an outlet port for discharging the electrolyte from the electrode, and performs a charge-discharge reaction by allowing the electrolyte to flow in the electrode. The electrode includes an anisotropic electrode layer having different permeabilities between a direction A1 on a plane of the electrode and a direction A2 orthogonal to the direction A1 on the plane of the electrode. In the anisotropic electrode layer, a permeability K1 in the direction A1 is larger than a permeability K2 in the direction A2. The electrode is disposed such that the direction A1 is substantially parallel to a main flow direction of the electrolyte in the electrode, the main flow direction being determined on the basis of a positional relationship between the inlet port and the outlet port and a shape of a surface of the bipolar plate on the electrode side.

摘要： A fuel cell comprises: a membrane electrode assembly configured to have an electrolyte membrane joined between an anode electrode and a cathode electrode; a flow path-forming member configured to form a flow path that is adjacent to one electrode out of the anode electrode and the cathode electrode and makes a flow of a reactive gas to the one electrode; and a plate-like member made of a material of blocking the reactive gas and stacked on a portion of a flow path-side surface of the one electrode to be adjacent to the flow path. The plate-like member has a gas permeation structure allowing for permeation of the reactive gas in a part where the anode electrode and the cathode electrode are placed in a stacking direction of the plate-like member on the one electrode.
