Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
STACKABLE ELECTRO-SYNTHETIC OR ELECTRO-ENERGY CELLS
Disclosed are electro-energy or electro-synthetic cells whose architectures allow them to be readily stacked into a cell stack. The cells comprise polymeric cell frames that incorporate within them, functional materials, such as an inter-electrode separator, electrodes, metallic bipolar plates, and the like. For example, an electro-energy or electro- synthetic cell comprises a polymeric cell frame, a first electrode and a second electrode, and an inter-electrode separator positioned between the first electrode and the second electrode. A compressive component is positioned adjacent to the first electrode. The compressive component may be a metallic bipolar plate compressive component and/or a metallic porous transport layer compressive component. In one example the polymeric cell frame is sealed to the metallic bipolar plate by a polymer-to-metal join. In another example at least one polymeric structural locating component locates the metallic bipolar plate against the polymeric cell frame. A cell stack is disclosed comprising a plurality of the cells.
