Interdisciplinary exchange on the design of electrochemical reactors

For the first time ever, the “E3C – Electrochemical Cell Concepts Colloquium“ is taking place, organized by the Fraunhofer UMSICHT. It was established to serve as a platform for the interdisciplinary exchange of innovations and scientific findings in the field of electrochemical reactors. Due to the current situation the event is designed as an online colloquium.

The focus of this year's colloquium lies on the question which similarities and potential combinations the designs of the different reactor types have in common. In particular, the speeches are about the cell concepts of flow reactors – like flow batteries, fuel cells, electrolysis, electrosynthesis or electrodialysis cells.

Scientists from different fields of application can combine their expertise so that the technologies can benefit from each other‘s developments and innovations, in order to advance the overall state of research.

This interdisciplinary exchange on the design of electrochemical reactors is divided into three sessions:

• Functional components
• Cell design and fluid flow
• Stack design, testing and sealing technology
