Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a unitized barrier and flow control device for electrochemical reactors. This invention features a subassembly for a stack of electrochemical cells that includes a porous metal sheet. The sheet has a hydrophobic, carbonaceous gas diffusion layer disposed within the pores along one face. The second face of the porous metal sheet defines a flow field, while the portion filled with the gas diffusion layer acts as a current collector. Additionally, the subassembly may include a metal gas barrier that is metallurgically bonded to the second face, serving as a gas barrier between the porous metal sheet and another porous metal sheet with a second gas diffusion layer.
Another patent by Moaddel aims to reduce the number of parts and interfaces in certain types of chemical reactors, especially in fuel cells. This innovation combines the functions of gas distribution, gas diffusion, and gas barrier structures into a single, unitary metallic part. This unified structure simplifies design, enhances performance, and reduces weight.
