Current distribution in a rectangular flow channel manufactured by 3‐D printing

Abstract: The characterization and improvement of a rectangular channel electrolyte flow compartment used in an iron-air flow battery was carried out by using an arrangement of copper electrodes to measure the current density distribution employing the limiting current technique. The present work addresses the hydrodynamics and mass transport distribution in the compartment and their improvement by an improved electrolyte compartment that results in a more uniform current distribution. The current distribution was evalu… Show more

“…Other recent work involves serpentine flow field plates for cells with gaseous streams such as H 2 /O 2 [8] and methanol [9,10] micro-fuel cells, and a miniature Ag/propylene PEM electrolyser [11]. In flow reactors with liquid electrolytes, only fast prototyping of electrolyte flow channels and manifolds has been performed [4,12,13].…”

“…3-D printed polymer electrode frames and flow channels have been designed for laboratory redox flow batteries [16], to examine the impact of manifolds and turbulence promoters on hydrodynamic and electrochemical performance [17] and its current distribution in situ [18]. Suitable 3-D printing techniques can be used to produce elastomeric seals, polymeric flow frames and metal electrodes.…”
