  • SEPARATE COMPRESSION OF WETTING AND CONTACT SECTIONS
    Publication number: 20180149615
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure include an electrochemical sensor comprising a housing defining an interior space; a sensing electrode; a counter electrode; and an electrical contact; wherein at least one of the sensing electrode or the counter electrode comprises a contact portion, wherein the contact portion is biased into contact with and electrically coupled to the electrical contact, and wherein a compression on the contact portion is different from a compression on the remaining body of the electrode.

  • Electrochemical gas detector with carbon element
    Patent number: 9410919
    Abstract: An electrochemical detector includes a carbon based element located between a separator and a current collector of an adjacent electrode. Elements can take the form of a carbon fabric located between the separator and the collector, or a linear, or, circular carbon deposit on a surface of the separator adjacent to the respective current collector. Other conductive coatings including gold, platinum or transition metals, as well as carbon, can be deposited directly onto a porous substrate, such as a masked separator material.

  • MESOPOROUS PARTICULATE MATERIALS
    Publication number: 20110086270
    Abstract: Relatively disordered mesoporous particulate materials have internal porosity, a surface area of 100 m2/g or greater with a network of pores characterised by a peak in the pore size distribution at a value between 2 and 20 nm and a ratio of the half-height width of the distribution's peak to the pore diameter axis position of the peak of at least 0.6.

  • MESOPOROUS MATERIALS FOR ELECTRODES
    Publication number: 20110045350
    Abstract: Mesoporous electrode materials with large particle size where the majority of particles have sizes in excess of 15 ?m have a well connected internal mesopore network, and have high power capability when used as intercalation materials for a range of battery and supercapacitor chemistries that rely on intercalation mechanisms to store charge.
