Multi Electrode Assembly approach

An actual breakthrough is to design both the microstructure (grain size, porosity,...) of the different system materials (support-membrane-catalyst) and the reactor architecture in order to obtain improved permeation properties and stability during the time on stream [19]. Considering all the parameters, a special consideration was given in this paper to the stack of the different materials at different length scale, from the microscopic-scale (microstructure) to the assembly of materials on the whole reactor thickness (architecture). An example of the architecture/microstructure concept was used in the Multi Electrode Assembly (MEA) approach.
