A method and apparatus for carrying out highly efficient switching inductive magnetic Enhanced Exothermic Reactions (EERs) on the surface of electrodes with a conductive electrically heated lithium-polymer electrolyte with switching magnetic fields while under hydrogen loading pressures to produce a second exothermal electrode surface and/or plasma heat reaction to heat a fluid, gas, or heat thermoelectric modules to produce electricity and store energy, while producing a cross-linked carbon graphene by-product at elevated temperatures using an auger to pump and transport the electrolyte fuel in a continuous or intermittent process or a onetime use. The device can self-start from an internal stored charge to electrically start a heated reaction.

An electrolytic method of loading hydrogen into a cathode includes placing the cathode and an anode in an electrochemical reaction vessel filled with a solvent, mixing a DC component and an AC component to produce an electrolytic current, and applying an electrolytic current to the cathode. The DC component includes cycling between: a first voltage applied to the cathode for a first period of time, a second voltage applied to the cathode for a second period of time, wherein the second voltage is higher than the first voltage, and wherein the second period of time is shorter than the first period of time. The peak sum of the voltages supplied by the DC component and AC component is higher than the dissociation voltage of the solvent. The AC component is selected based on a local minimum of a Nyquist plot to minimize energy loss while maintaining hydrogen transport.

A separator plate for an electrochemical system may have at least one passage opening for forming a media channel for feeding or discharging media. The system may also have at least one bead arrangement arranged around the at least one passage opening, for the purpose of sealing the passage opening. At least one of the flanks of the bead arrangement may have at least one opening for conducting a medium through the bead flank. The system may also have at least one guide channel that is connected, on an exterior of the bead arrangement, to the openings in the bead flank and is fluidically connected to a bead interior via the opening in the bead flank. The guide channel is designed such that a guide channel width, determined parallel to the flat surface plane of the separator plate, increases at least in some sections in the direction of the bead arrangement.

An electrolytic water production device 1 includes an electrolytic chamber 40 to which water to be electrolyzed is supplied, a first power feeder 41 and a second power feeder 42 arranged to face each other in the electrolytic chamber 40 and having different polarity, a membrane 43 arranged between the first power feeder 41 and the second power feeder 42 so as to divide the electrolytic chamber 40 into a first pole chamber (40a) positioned on a side of the first power feeder 41 and a second pole chamber (40b) positioned on a side of the second power feeder 42, and a control unit 5 for switching the polarity of the first power feeder 41 and the second power feeder 42 between anode and cathode, wherein surfaces of the first power feeder 41 and the second power feeder 42 are formed of a hydrogen storage metal, and the control unit 5 has an operation mode for switching the polarity each time electrolysis is started in the electrolytic chamber 40.

Self-regulating electrolytic gas generator and implant system including the same. In one embodiment, the electrolytic gas generator is a water electrolyzer and includes a polymer electrolyte membrane with an anode on one side and a cathode on the other side. Anode and cathode seals surround the peripheries of the anode and cathode and include inlets for water and outlets for oxygen and hydrogen, respectively. A cathode current collector is placed in contact with the cathode, and an anode current collector, which may be an elastic, electrically-conductive diaphragm, is positioned proximate to the anode. The anode current collector is reversibly deformable between a first state in which it is in direct physical and electrical contact with the anode and a second state in which it distends, due to gas pressure generated at the anode, so that it is not in physical or electrical contact with the anode, causing electrolysis to cease.

Disclosed are cathodes comprising a conductive support substrate having an electrocatalyst coating containing nickel phosphide nanoparticles. The conductive support substrate is capable of incorporating a material to be reduced, such as CO.sub.2 or CO. A co-catalyst, either incorporated into the electrolyte solution, or adsorbed to, deposited on, or incorporated into the bulk cathode material, provides increased selectivity and activity of the nickel phosphide electrocatalyst. Also disclosed are electrochemical methods for selectively generating hydrocarbon and/or carbohydrate products from CO.sub.2 or CO using water as a source of hydrogen.

A differential pressure type high pressure water electrolysis apparatus has a flow passage forming member for supplying water to an anode. In the flow passage forming member, there are formed a water receiving section for receiving water supplied from the exterior, a distributing path for distributing the water that has flowed into the water receiving section, a converging path into which a surplus supplied amount of water flows, and a water discharging section for receiving the water inside the converging path and discharging it to the exterior. The positions of the distributing path and the converging path are offset from an opposing position where a seal member faces toward a pressure resistant member that surrounds the seal member from the exterior.

A wipe that can be used deodorize, disinfect, and/or sterilize an object. A wipe manipulator may be used with a wipe to create, energize, or enhance one or more treatment agent in a wipe to improve its efficacy. Desirably, a wipe manipulator is flexible to accommodate to curved surfaces. A wipe includes a flexible membrane or cloth-like element that may apply, distribute, and/or remove a treatment agent to, over, or from a surface of the object. An enhanced treatment agent, such as peracetic acid, may be applied to the surface subsequent to being formed in the wipe as a result of installation of the wipe onto a manipulator, or otherwise activating the wipe. A wipe manipulator may include one or more rechargeable reservoir to contain and apply a synergistic treatment agent to the wipe to create the enhanced treatment agent.
