Bipolar plate for an electrolyzer, electrolyzer and method for producing a bipolar plate
A bipolar plate for an electrolyzer, particularly a PEM electrolyzer, is formed with a central region and a peripheral region surrounding the central region. With a view to cost-effective production of the bipolar plate, the central region is made of metal sheet and the peripheral region is formed from a plastic frame. The plastic frame is made of at least one thermoplastic, particularly at least one high-temperature thermoplastic, and is injection-molded around the sheet metal.
Modularized health gas generator
The present invention discloses a modular health gas generator, more particularly, to a modular health gas generator with an automatic circulation and a cooling function. Then, the gas production rate of the hydrogen-oxygen gas can be controlled by a plurality of freely detachable electrolytic tanks. The invention comprises an inner tank and the plurality of detachable electrolytic tanks. In application, a hollow portion of each electrolytic tank can be inputted or supplied the liquid water from the inner tank. The liquid water is electrolyzed in the electrolytic tank to generate the hydrogen-oxygen gas and be output to the inner tank, and then the hydrogen-oxygen gas will be further outputted through a gas outlet of the inner tank.

METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF WATER INTO HYDROGEN PEROXIDE AND CONVERTER
A method and device for conversion of water into hydrogen peroxide, wherein a corona discharge zone is generated between a rotating electrode formed as a hollow rotor of a centrifugal fan and a fixed electrode. The rotating electrode is rotated relative to an insulation layer of the fixed electrode, and high voltage AC power is applied to the fixed electrode while conveying vapor through the corona discharge zone. In one aspect, the novelty resides in using the rotating electrode for conversion of water to vapor. In another aspect, conductivity between the two electrodes induces electrolysis, which is used for high voltage AC transmission to the rotating electrode.
BIPOLAR PLATE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELLS AND METHOD FOR THE PRODUCTION THEREOF
The invention relates to a metallic bipolar plate for use in an electrochemical cell, wherein the bipolar plate comprises an electrically conductive graphene-like coating. The graphene-like coating has a layer thickness between 10 nm and 1 μm. Chemical synthesis is initially carried out to produce the graphene-like coating according to the invention comprising one or more at least partially reduced graphene oxide layers. Proceeding from graphite powder, a graphite oxide powder is initially produced, which is subsequently converted into a stable graphene oxide (GO) suspension by way of ultrasonic dispersion. By depositing this suspension on a metallic carrier substrate (bipolar plate), thin graphene oxide layers can then be applied and subsequently be reduced to obtain at least partially reduced graphene oxide (rGO), which is referred to as graphene-like. This coating advantageously has sufficient stability and the necessary electrical conductivity for use in an electrochemical cell.
