    摘要: An electrochemical device is provided, including a stack of a plurality of electrochemical units, at least one medium channel extending along a stack direction, at least one flow field via which a medium is able to flow transversely to the stack direction from the medium channel to another medium channel, and at least one connecting channel via which the flow field and the medium channel are in fluidic connection. The connecting channel has a medium channel-side mouth opening extending along a circumferential direction of the flow field from a first medium channel-side rim to a second medium channel-side rim, and a flow field-side mouth opening extending along the circumferential direction from a first to a second flow field-side rim. At least one of the flow field-side rims is offset away from the respective other flow field-side rim along the circumferential direction in relation to one of the medium channel-side rims.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for assembling and operating an electrode assembly for a redox flow battery system. In one example, the electrode assembly may include an inflatable housing in which a negative electrode spacer and a positive electrode may be positioned, wherein the inflatable housing may inflate responsive to applied internal pressure during operation of the redox flow battery system. In some examples, the electrode assembly may be assembled via roll-to-roll processing and may be mechanically and fluidically coupled to electrode assemblies of like configuration. In this way, tolerance stacking may be decreased, processing may be simplified, and costs may be reduced relative to molding-based processes for electrode assembly manufacturing.

    摘要: A fuel cell stack includes single cells stacked in a first direction. Each single cell includes a power generating unit, a first separator, and a second separator. The first separator and the second separator hold the power generating unit between the first separator and the second separator. The first separator of each single cell includes first protrusions. The second separator of each single cell includes second protrusions. A distal end of each second protrusion includes a depression that is located at a center in a second direction and extends in a third direction. A length of the depression in the second direction is greater than a length of the first protrusion in the second direction. A distal end of each first protrusion is located inside the depression.
