摘要 |
A fibrous microcell structure comprising at least one electrically conductive fibrous element circumscribed by a porous membrane separator having coated, impregnated or extruded at an inner surface thereof a first electrocatalyst layer having an electrically conductive hydrogen- or oxygen-permselective membrane thereon, with an electrolyte disposed in porosity of the porous membrane separator. The structure includes a central lumen, at least one electrically conductive fibrous element and interstitial volume accommodating flow of feed through the lumen, at least one electrically conductive fibrous element in contact with the second electrocatalyst layer, and the porous membrane separator at its outer surface being in contact with an electrocatalyst and at least one electrically conductive fiber.
