MEC No 2006
|
|
Description
|
The electrochemical cell module (ECM) is a nested arrangement assembly
of current collector / electrode / membrane / electrode / current
collector. The membrane is an ionomer; the current collector is a
corrosion-resistant metal. Designed for low resistance, long life.
|
|
|
Advantages
|
Electrical contacts are established form a single side of the
assembly. The ECM is a conveniently pre-assembled packaged single
cell.
|
|
Applications
|
Nested ECM’s can be used in power generation devices or power
consuming electrochemical processes. Applications include:
- Fuel cells (PEM-type)
- Batteries (air cathode based)
- Oxygen concentrators (air-based) used:
- As a pure oxygen source.
- In electrochemical pumps.
- In electrochemical reactors.
- Electrolyzers (hydrogen/oxygen sources)
|
|
State of Development
|
ECM’s (0.2, 1.0 and 10 cm2) are Med-e-Cell products used
in electrochemical pumps, oxygen generators/extractors.
