Abstract
An apparatus for consuming gases includes an electrochemical cell comprising a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte. The cell is operable to produce an electrochemical reaction that forms on the cathode a reactive material comprising at least one of a metal, an alloy, and an intercalation compound. The cell is constructed so that the reactive material formed on the cathode is exposed to the gases that are to be consumed.
Claims21
1-38. (canceled)
An apparatus for consuming gases, comprising:
- an electrochemical cell comprising a cathode, an anode, and an electrolyte;
- a power source for supplying power for operating the electrochemical cell;
- a controller for controlling the supply of power to the electrochemical cell;
- and
- at least one sensor for sensing conditions associated with the apparatus,
- wherein the controller comprises electronics and/or circuitry that is adapted to sense, via the at least one sensor, conditions related to the electrochemical cell and to operate the electrochemical cell in response to the sensed conditions, and
- wherein the cell is operable to produce an electrochemical reaction that forms on the cathode a reactive material comprising at least one of a metal, an alloy, and an intercalation compound, and wherein the cell is constructed so that the reactive material formed on the cathode is exposed to the gases that are to be consumed.
