Publication number: 20230416926Abstract: A water electrolysis separator includes a first plate member having a reaction part configured to define a reaction region in which a reaction is produce by a membrane electrode assembly (MEA). The first plate member has first manifold flow paths spaced apart from the reaction part and first channel patterns extending from edges of the first manifold flow paths and defining first connection channels configured to connect the reaction part and the first manifold flow paths. The separator includes a second plate member stacked on the first plate member, configured to cover the first connection channels, and including a through portion corresponding to the reaction part and second manifold flow paths corresponding to the first manifold flow paths. The separator includes a sealing member configured to seal a portion between the first plate member and the second plate member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2022Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicants: HYUNDAI MOTOR COMPANY, KIA CORPORATIONInventor: Joon Guen Park

Patent number: 11233261Abstract: A fuel cell stack includes a reaction layer having a MEA, an anode separator having a gas channel formed at a first side facing the reaction layer and through which a first reactant gas flows, and a cooling channel formed at a second side and through which a coolant flows. The anode separator abuts the reaction layer. A cathode separator abuts anode separator so that a first side of the cathode separator covers the cooling channel. A porous structural unit has a partition wall protruding from the second side of the cathode separator and has a flow path for a second reactant gas to minimize a cooling temperature deviation and improve operational efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignees: Hyundai Motor Company, Kia Motors CorporationInventor: Joon Guen Park
