The patent outlines an innovative catalyst structure designed for the oxidation of hydrogen in the air. The structured catalyst aims to enhance the efficiency and safety of hydrogen oxidation processes, a crucial aspect in various industrial applications and environmental technologies.
The catalyst structure comprises two main parts: the base and the catalyst layer. The base features a first surface where the catalyst layer is applied. This layer is composed of a carbon carrier, multiple catalyst particles, and a fluorinated polymer. The distribution of catalyst particles on the carbon carrier’s surface and the attachment to the base using the fluorinated polymer are essential for the structure’s functionality.
In this patent, the carbon carrier serves as a vital substrate that supports the catalyst particles. These particles are responsible for facilitating the chemical reaction necessary for hydrogen oxidation. They increase the surface area, enabling more efficient interactions with hydrogen molecules. The strategic positioning of these particles on the carbon carrier is crucial for optimizing the catalyst’s performance.
The fluorinated polymer plays a dual role in this innovative structure. It acts as an adhesive, securing the carbon carrier to the base’s first surface. Additionally, it enhances the material’s resistance to environmental factors, contributing to the longevity and reliability of the catalyst under operational conditions.
In addition to the catalyst structure, the patent describes a device equipped for hydrogen oxidation. This device includes the catalyst structure enclosed within a shell, which features an accommodation space tailored to house the catalyst. The design ensures that the catalyst structure operates efficiently within a controlled environment.
