Single Cell Empirical Data
Concentration cells offer opportunities of many design forms. The materials employed can be fashioned in many shapes and sizes.
There are no basic problems in producing devices with very special characteristics. Materials are most easily taken as flat sheets for electrodes because that configuration lends itself to a host of design application requirements.
The simple parallel plate electrode design approach is probably the easiest to describe and represent in drawings. For that reason alone, the configuration descriptions employed here will be confined to such designs. Other cell and battery shapes are certainly possible if required for particular applications where, for example, cylindrical forms would offer advantages over rectangular structures. The following are the principal components and materials for construction:
