  • Liquid materials for use in electrochemical cells
    Patent number: 7435495
    Abstract: Disclosed is the use of liquid precursor materials to prepare a processible polymeric electrolyte, which can be used to form a proton exchange membrane for use in an electrochemical cell. Also disclosed is the use of liquid precursor materials to prepare a processible catalyst ink composition, which can be conformally applied to a proton exchange membrane and an electrode material for use in an electrochemical cell. Also disclosed is the use of a photocurable perfluoropolyether (PFPE) material to form a microfluidic electrochemical cell.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 21, 2005
    Date of Patent: October 14, 2008
    Assignee: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
    Inventors: Joseph M. DeSimone, Jennifer Y. Kelly, Jason P. Rolland, Zhillian Zhou, Ginger M. Denison, Raymond Dominey
