Abstract
A design and method for fabricating an electrochemical transducer including two housing plates, each of the housing plates being constructed of a polymer material and wherein each of the housing plates include an inner side, an outer side and a plurality of channels through the housing plates so as to communicate the inner side with the outer side, two anode electrodes, the anode electrodes disposed so as to be sandwiched between the housing plates, two cathode electrodes, the cathode electrodes disposed so as to be sandwiched between the anode electrodes and three porous insulating layers, the insulating layers being constructed of a polymer mesh and wherein each of the insulating layers is disposed so as to separate each of the anode electrodes from the cathode electrodes and each of the cathode electrodes from each other, while permitting the flow of an electrolyte between them.
