Abstract
An electroceutical system integrated into an article of personal protective equipment (PPE) like a face mask. The system consists of an electrochemical cell consisting of an anodic zone capable of serving as an anode, a cathodic zone capable of serving as a cathode and, optionally, a selectively conductive switch zone electrically couplable to and separating the anodic and cathodic zones and serving to switch on and off current flow between the anodic and cathodic zones.
Claims25
A PPE article, comprising:
- one or more layers, the article having an external side for facing side the environment, and an internal side for facing the body of a user, and wherein the article includes an energizable structure comprising an electrochemical cell consisting of an anodic zone capable of serving as an anode, and a cathodic zone capable of serving as a cathode.
An article comprising a filtration mask, the mask comprising:
- one or more layers, the article having an external side for facing side the environment, and an internal side for facing the body of a user, and wherein the article air permeable over at least a facial area over the mouth and/or nose, the permeable facial area including an energizable structure comprising an electrochemical cell consisting of an anodic fabric zone capable of serving as an anode, a cathodic fabric zone capable of serving as a cathode, and a selectively conductive switch zone electrically couplable to and separating the anodic and cathodic zones and serving to switch on and off current flow between the anodic and cathodic zones.
