Bipolar membrane fuel cells are favorable in terms of both the kinetics and thermodynamics of the reaction. Under forward bias, a pH of 0 on the anode side favors the hydrogen oxide reaction (HOR), while a pH of 14 on the cathode side favors the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR).
Furthermore, the bipolar membrane realizes a durability of 1000 h at high current densities of 300 ∼ 500 mA cm –2 with negligible performance decay. Bipolar membranes (BPMs) enable continuous water dissociation (H 2 O → H + + OH −) to generate protons and hydroxide ions 1, 2.
Bipolar cells mediate the path of visual information between photoreceptors and ganglion cells. You might find these chapters and articles relevant to this topic. Bipolar cells, like receptors and horizontal cells, respond to light mainly with sustained graded potentials (see Figure 7).
Bipolar cell configurations are used especially for fuel cells but also sometimes in batteries that are intended to provide high voltage and high power. In the bipolar design the geometric electrode surface, and therefore the capacity, is limited by the cross-section of the bipolar stack.
