ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL SUPPORT STRUCTURE

摘要

An electrochemical cell (70) can comprise: a first electrode (88) and a second electrode (90) with a membrane (86) disposed therebetween and in ionic communication with the first electrode (88) and the second electrode (90) and a sintered porous support member (72) disposed on a side of the membrane (86) opposite the second electrode (90), wherein the support member (72) comprises a first portion (96) on first side of the support member (72) proximate the membrane (86) and a second portion (94) disposed on a side of the first portion (96) opposite the membrane (86), wherein the second portion (94) has a second portion porosity different from a first portion porosity.
