  • Series of cells for use in an electrochemical device
    Patent number: 11952672
    Abstract: A series of cells for use in an electrochemical device, such as an electrochemical cell or battery, that can operate in a single bulk electrolyte solution shared among the cells. Methods of producing hydrogen or both hydrogen and electricity in appreciable quantifies and in various ratios, and vehicles or other devices and applications powered by electrochemical devices comprising the series.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 11, 2019
    Date of Patent: April 9, 2024
    Assignee: IFBattery Inc.
    Inventor: John H. Cushman
  • Electrochemical cells
    Patent number: 11894591
    Abstract: Electrochemical cells and batteries that can operate with a single electrolyte solution, such as those comprising an anode, a cathode current collector, and a porous, non-conductive spacer between the cathode current collector and anode. Membraneless electrochemical cells and batteries are also disclosed. The electrochemical cells and batteries disclosed herein may be used, for example, to produce electricity or to generate hydrogen or both, and to deliver electricity or hydrogen or both to process applications.
    Type: Grant
