MODULE DE BASE DE PILE A COMBUSTIBLE MINIATURE AVEC DES MICRO-VOLUMES TRAVERSES PAR UN DES DEUX REACTANTS

摘要

A miniature fuel cell base module is made up of numerous micro-volumes (10) positioned inside a closed space between lower (1), upper (2) and lateral (3) sides. The wall of each micro-volume is covered with a layer which forms the electrodes/membrane base element. A first reactant is circulated inside the micro-volumes whilst a second reactant is circulated between the micro-volumes. The space between the micro-volumes can optionally be filled with a porous material in order to make the assembly rigid. The porous material is porous silicon.
