Types of Fuel Cells

A fuel cell (actually a group of cells) has essentially the same kinds of components as a battery. As in the latter, each cell of a fuel cell system has a matching pair of electrodes. These are the anode, which supplies electrons, and the cathode, which absorbs electrons. Both electrodes must be immersed in and separated by an electrolyte, which may be a liquid or a solid but which must in either case conduct ions between the electrodes in order to complete the chemistry of the system. A fuel, such as hydrogen, is supplied to the anode, where it is oxidized, producing hydrogen ions and electrons. An oxidizer, such as oxygen, is supplied to the cathode, where the hydrogen ions from the anode absorb electrons from the latter and react with the oxygen to produce water. Various types of fuel cells have been developed. They are generally classified on the basis of the electrolyte used, because the electrolyte determines the operating temperature of a system and in part the kind of fuel that can be employed:
1.Alkaline fuel cells
2.Phosphoric acid fuel cells
3.Molten carbonate fuel cells
4.Solid oxide fuel cells
5.Solid polymer electrolyte fuel cells

Types of Fuel Cells - Manufacture Catalyst Coated Membrane

Cheersonic’s ultrasonic equipment is suitable for spraying catalyst solutions containing carbon black ink suspension, platinum slurry and other precious metal solutions. From R&D to production, our non-clogging technology results in greater control of coating attributes, significant reduction in materials usage, and reduced maintenance and downtime. It can prepare fuel cell proton exchange membrane with excellent performance. It integrates multiple systems such as ultrasonic, dispersion, carrier gas, liquid, heating station, vacuum adsorption, and exhaust emission control.

The advantages of Cheersonic’s ultrasonic equipment include:

1.Full range of ultrasonic nozzles
2.Spray patterns are easily shaped for precise coating applications
3.Up to 80% reduction in material consumption with reduced overspray, conserving expensive catalyst inks.
4.Spray plume can be easily shaped and directed to coat only target area.
5.Self-cleaning nozzle design prevents clogging
6.Extremely easy-to-control spray provides reliable and consistent results
7.Very uniform and durable coating (even on electrolyte substrates).
