Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cell module includes an ion exchange membrane, a first electrode, a second electrode, a first current collector plate, and a second current collector plate. The first electrode and the second electrode are disposed at two sides of the ion exchange membrane, wherein a sensing element is disposed in the first electrode, and the first electrode includes an insulating frame. The first current collector plate is located at one side of the first electrode, and the second current collector plate is located at one side of the second electrode.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A cell module, comprising: an ion exchange membrane; a first electrode and a second electrode disposed at two sides of the ion exchange membrane, wherein a sensing element is disposed in the first electrode, and the first electrode includes an insulating frame; a first current collector plate located at one side of the first electrode; and a second current collector plate located at one side of the second electrode. 2 . The cell module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cell module is a flow battery module. 3 . The cell module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the insulating frame defines an inlet aperture and an outlet aperture. 4 . The cell module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the first electrode includes a center section, the center section is surrounded by the insulating frame, the center section is composed of several layers of carbon felts, and the sensing element is disposed in the carbon felts. 5 . The cell module as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a first collector plate disposed between the first current collector plate and the first electrode, and a second collector plate disposed between the second current collector plate and the second electrode. 6 . The cell module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the cell module is a fuel cell module. 7 . The cell module as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first electrode includes an anode diffusion layer and an anode catalyst layer, and the sensing element is disposed in the anode diffusion layer. 8 . The cell module as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the anode diffusion layer is composed of the several layers of carbon felts, and the sensing element is disposed in the carbon felts. 9 . The cell module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensing element is a flexible circuit substrate. 10 . The cell module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sensing element is a current sensor, voltage sensor, temperature sensor or pressure sensor.
