Electrochemical engineering and cell design
Electrochemical engineering and cell design
The concepts of electrochemical engineering have led to major enhancements in cell performance for both academic and industrial practice. While a specific cell design usually reflects a particular application, some generalizations and their implications can be helpful. The chlor-alkali industry has been one of the great drivers for innovation in electrochemical technology. With the current shift towards renewable energy sources, the importance of energy storage is growing rapidly. One approach towards energy storage is based on redox flow batteries, the most well-developed technology being the all-vanadium flow battery. A rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) with a cylindrical or “pseudo-cylindrical” counterelectrode around it essentially has the geometry of a parallel plate cell. Developments in both design and materials have greatly improved the performance of parallel plate cells, including the incorporation of features such as 3D electrodes from academic studies

Abstract
The concepts of electrochemical engineering have led to major enhancements in cell performance for both academic and industrial practice. While a specific cell design usually reflects a particular application, some generalizations and their implications can be helpful. The chlor-alkali industry has been one of the great drivers for innovation in electrochemical technology. With the current shift towards renewable energy sources, the importance of energy storage is growing rapidly. One approach towards energy storage is based on redox flow batteries, the most well-developed technology being the all-vanadium flow battery. A rotating cylinder electrode (RCE) with a cylindrical or “pseudo-cylindrical” counterelectrode around it essentially has the geometry of a parallel plate cell. Developments in both design and materials have greatly improved the performance of parallel plate cells, including the incorporation of features such as 3D electrodes from academic studies
