  • Patent number: 12205734
    Abstract: A variable-structure stacked cable topology includes: a plurality of sections of stacked cables. The plurality of sections of the stacked cables are connected sequentially. The sections of the stacked cables includes a plurality of base tapes at an equal quantity. The plurality of base tapes are connected mutually. At least one of the plurality of base tapes is a superconducting tape. A cable topological structure is formed by sequentially connecting a plurality of sections of stacked cables. Each of the sections of the stacked cables is provided with superconducting tapes or a combination of superconducting tapes and copper tapes to form a variable-structure cable topological structure. By packaging a different number of superconducting tapes in each area, this section of cable can be twisted into a coil in such a way that a critical current of the whole coil can be approximately uniform along a length direction of the cable.

  • Publication number: 20240392061
    Abstract: The present invention introduces ionic polymers featuring with a spiro structure, which enhances the solubility and gas permeability of the ionic polymer while maintaining excellent conductivity, mechanical properties, and dimensional stability. This is achieved by incorporating a spiro fragment with a large free volume into the polymer backbone. As a result, the gas permeability of the catalyst layer prepared from this ionic polymer is improved, making it suitable as a catalyst binder for proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) or anion exchange membrane fuel cells (AEMFCs). Furthermore, the electrochemical performance of the fuel cell is enhanced. Additionally, the proton exchange membrane and anion exchange membrane derived from this ionic polymer containing a spiro structure effectively improve the conductivity of both types of membranes by increasing the space volume due to the presence of the large free volume spiro fragment.
