Abstract:
A corrugated current collector having successive spaced rows of corrugations, with the corrugations in a given row establishing successive peak and valley regions along the given row, said peak regions in each row of corrugations being spaced by a pitch Pt, wherein said pitch Pt is the same from row-to-row, and the spaced rows of corrugations being adapted so that corresponding peak regions from row-to-row establish through passages for receiving and supporting solid catalyst elements, said corresponding peak regions from row-to-row of the rows of corrugations being offset by an amount O, wherein the offset O is finite and less than 50 percent of said pitch Pt and is the same from row to row and a solid catalyst element disposed in each of said passages.
