Abstract

An electrochemical conversion system ( 10 ) is disclosed having a housing ( 11 ) divided by a hydrogen concentration cell ( 12 ) so as to define a first chamber ( 13 ) and a second chamber ( 14 ). A first mass of hydride material ( 17 ) is contained within the first chamber while a second mass of hydride material ( 18 ) is contained within the second chamber. The hydrogen concentration cell has a first gas diffusion electrode ( 20 ), a second gas diffusion electrode ( 21 ) and a proton conductive membrane ( 22 ) therebetween. The release of hydrogen from one of the masses of hydride material and its redox reaction creates an electrical potential across the cell.
