Publication number: 20230402620Abstract: The invention relates to a bipolar plate (100) for a fuel cell system (1), having: a cathode-side plate (10), which on a first side (11) has a first channel structure (K1) for an oxygen-containing reactant (O2) and on a second side (12) has a second channel structure (K2) for a coolant (KM), and an anode-side plate (20), which on a first side (21) has a first channel structure (A1) for a fuel-containing reactant (H2) and on a second side (22) has a second channel structure (A2) for a coolant (KM), the cathode-side plate (10) and the anode-side plate (20) bearing against one another by means of the second sides (12, 22) for the coolant (KM). To this end, in accordance with the invention, the first channel structure (K1) of the cathode-side plate (10) differs geometrically from the second channel structure (K2) of the cathode-side plate (10).Type: ApplicationFiled: October 14, 2021Publication date: December 14, 2023Inventors: Leonore Glanz, Manuel Schneiter

Patent number: 11183675Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an electrode (E) for an electrochemical cell, in particular for a lithium cell. In order to produce a homogeneous mixture allowing the time-saving, cost-effective production, for example by dry coating, of an electrode (E) with improved properties and/or with a layer thickness significantly greater than 100 ?m, for example for vehicle batteries, in particular for electric and/or hybrid vehicles, in said method at least one binder (B) and at least one particulate fibrillation auxiliary agent (F) are mixed in a mixing process with a high shear load, the at least one binder (B) being fibrillated (fB), and at least one electrode component (E1) is then added to the at least one fibrillated binder (B) in a mixing process with a low shear load. The invention also relates to an electrode (E) produced in this manner and to an electrochemical cell equipped with an electrode (E) of this type.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: November 23, 2021Assignees: Robert Bosch GmbH, GS Yuasa International Ltd.Inventors: Bernd Reinsch, Leonore Glanz, Calin Iulius Wurm, Harald Bauer, Wolfgang Weydanz
