  • Fuel cells
    Patent number: 9312544
    Abstract: A liquid electrolyte fuel cell comprises means to define an electrolyte chamber (208), and two electrodes (10), one on either side of the electrolyte chamber (208), each electrode comprising:—a sheet (11) of metal through which are defined a multiplicity of through-holes (14), and—a gas-permeable layer (16) of fibrous and/or particulate electrically-conductive material which is bonded to and in electrical contact with the sheet of metal (11), and which comprises catalytic material (18). The electrode (10) may be arranged such that the gas-permeable layer (16) faces the electrolyte chamber (208).
    Type: Grant

  • Fuel cells
    Patent number: 8679701
    Abstract: A liquid electrolyte fuel cell comprises means to define an electrolyte chamber, and electrodes on opposite sides of the electrolyte chamber. The electrode comprises an electrically conductive sheet (10) through which are defined a multiplicity of through-pores or holes (14). These may be formed by laser drilling through the sheet. The electrode would normally also include a layer (16) of catalytic material. The margin (15) of the sheet is not perforated or porous, to simplify sealing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 21, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 25, 2014
    Assignee: AFC Energy plc
    Inventors: Hugh Liam Sutherland, Alex Sean Blake, John Sansum, Gene Stacey Lewis
