Product Description
MEA Electrochemical Stack Reactor
Membrane Electrode Assembly (MEA) Stack Reactor for High-Power Electrochemical Research
Product Overview
The MEA Electrochemical Stack Reactor is a laboratory-scale, stack-type electrochemical reactor designed for researchers who require higher operating voltage, current, and power density than single-cell configurations can provide. By stacking multiple MEA units with independent flow field plates, this system enables scalable electrochemical testing under precisely controlled conditions.
It is suitable for CO₂ electroreduction, water electrolysis, electrosynthesis, and advanced electrochemical process development, bridging the gap between single-cell studies and pilot-scale systems.
Core Design Concept
This reactor adopts a modular stack architecture, where each repeating unit consists of:
•Bipolar metal plates separating anode and cathode sides
•Individually machined flow field plates
•MEA layers assembled in a compressed stack
The stacked configuration allows higher total voltage and power output while maintaining uniform pressure distribution and stable electrochemical performance across all active areas.
Key Features & Advantages
1.Stack-Type High-Power Architecture
•Multi-cell stacking enables higher voltage and power operation
•Ideal for scale-up studies and performance benchmarking
•Suitable for continuous operation under elevated current densities
2.High-Purity Metal Construction
•Cell body material: High-purity titanium (standard)
•Optional high-purity nickel plates available for specialized chemical environments
•Excellent corrosion resistance and long-term electrochemical stability
3.Customizable Flow Field Design
Supports a wide range of flow field geometries, including:
•Serpentine
•Parallel
•Interdigitated
•Leaf-vein (bio-inspired)
•Mesh, spiral, or comb-type (custom designs available)
Flow fields can be optimized for mass transfer, pressure drop, and gas–liquid management depending on the application.
4.Integrated Thermal Control Capability
•Standard design includes heating rod ports and thermocouple ports
•Enables constant-temperature electrochemical testing
•Suitable for kinetic studies and temperature-dependent performance analysis
5.Flexible Active Area Options
Standard flow field areas:
30 × 30 mm
50 × 50 mm
Other dimensions available upon request to match specific MEA designs
6.Electrical & Flow Configuration Flexibility
•Supports both series and parallel electrical connections
•Flow channels can be configured for:
Single-pass flow
Parallel distribution
Stack-level flow optimization
Adaptable to diverse experimental protocols
7.Uniform Compression & Sealing
•Precision tie-rod compression system ensures:
Even pressure distribution across all MEA layers
Reduced contact resistance
•Reliable sealing under long-term operation
Gasket material: Silicone rubber sheets (standard)
Typical Applications
•CO₂ electrochemical reduction (CO₂RR)
•Water electrolysis (HER / OER)
•Organic electrosynthesis
•MEA performance scale-up studies
•Stack-level durability and lifetime testing
•Advanced electrochemical reactor research
