Abstract
Fabrication process for manufacture of microcell structures and assemblies, in which a microcell precursor is contacted with one or more of electrolytes, electrocatalysts, electrocatalyst reducing agents, and hydrophicity-imparting materials. The process may derive the precursor from a high rate extrusion process in which the electrocatalyst is impregnated, coated or extruded on a fibrous substrate to form an electrode. The process of the invention permits the high volume production of fibrous microcell elements for correlative high volume production of highly compact, small footprint electrochemical cells useful for a variety of vehicular, consumer and industrial applications.
